Suppose on September 11, 2001 the hijackers targeted nuclear reactors instead of buildings. Would meltdowns have occurred? Or are reactors strong enough to withstand plane impacts?

I believe we have had this discussion multiple times.
The answer is, yes. The reactors would likely be strong enough to withstand plane impacts. The attacks would accomplish nothing and go against the goal Al-Qaeda was aiming for. There is nothing symbolic about a nuclear reactor.
