The first ever full-scale demonstration of a nuclear reactor designed to passively cool itself in an emergency was a success, showing that it should be possible to build nuclear plants without the risk of dangerous meltdown
Well, they do tend to be designed to be resistant to that kind of thing - and some sorta fancy bunker buster would probably disperse the fissile material anyway. Certainly a big ol’ not good, but criticality depends on having enough mass in close proximity, so it’s similar to how you can blow up a nuclear missile with an interceptor safely-ish.
Setting an oil facility ablaze is going to be much easier and have worse health effects in the vicinity.
