    To make nukes the key part is not the power plant, but the enriching of uranium. To the best of my knowledge Ukraine has no enrichment plants.

        Uranium for power plants normally has a 3-5% U235 contet, whereas weapons grade uranium has to be at least 20% U235 to build a somewhat realisitc nuke, but that would way a few hundred kg. So you usually go for above 80%.

        Any dumb person knows that and the Ukranians are not that dumb.

            It wouldn’t be a bomb at those levels. That’s the point they’re trying to make. It would be more like a traditional bomb that would do nothing but destroy 1 tank and irradiate the area.
