It is likely that this is simply another fake threat. One doesn't just "blow up a nuclear power plant". Old plants like Chernobyl only melted down because of the archaic design and unwillingness by all involved to take action. Almost all newer nuclear power plants in contrast have active safety systems, which means that if anything goes wrong, the plant shuts down without any human intervention and in a short period of time.

Secondly, the really dangerous radiation from nuclear fission is short lived and dissipates quickly again over a short period of time. The real danger of a nuclear leak is vastly over-hyped by often foolish uneducated people who's knowledge of radiation doesn't exceed their experience with kitchen microwaves!

Much ado about nothing imho.

Plus, psychopaths don't want to die! They want everyone else dead.

Chernobyl went critical, as I understand, due the tests they were undertaking and a succession of technical (human) errors by the personnel in charge of developing the test which caused the explosion.
