Wasn't me, but I can take a guess:
1. absurdly low probability
2. power plants are built to withstand airliner crashes having far more energy
3. it'll be insignificant debris, broken smaller than pieces of that space shuttle
4. the comment smells like nuclear fearmongering
It may be wrongly assumed that everybody here is nerdy enough to know all these things.

As for 1., sure, but still (probability x damage) makes it nevertheless reasonable to consider it, even if it is later dismissed. 4. - agree, and that's my problem. Sounds like [1].
