You do konw, that it is IMPOSSIBLE for a nuclear reactor to explode in a nuclear fission explosion, aka become a nuclear bomb. Reaching critical mass isn’t possible. Nuclear reactors can catch on fire, if built using graphite, that isn’t done anymore, or have a steam explosion. but that’s it.
They can also get hot enough to melt the metallic components (including the fuel itself) if the reaction isn’t properly regulated (hence, “meltdown”), but you’re correct that that’s still not a fission explosion.
