Right now in Ukraine, the nuclear plants are what's keeping the grid alive.
They are extremely tough targets, and fairly easy to defend.
It is not about blackouts but about the risk induced by a nuclear plant in a warzone.
That's what International Atomic Energy Agency's (UN agency in charge of civilian nuclear) boss said about it: "Director General Grossi reiterated his deep concern about the apparent increased use of drones near nuclear power plants since early this year, saying such weaponry posed a clear risk to nuclear safety and security"
"any military attack on a nuclear site – with or without drones – jeopardizes nuclear safety and must stop immediately"

What concrete risks are those?
And of course the IEAE is concerned about nuclear safety. That's their job.
