Sorry, as a nuclear engineer with over 30 years experience in design and operation of nuclear power plants, I will not and can not make the claim that modern plants are “sabotage proof.”
It is difficult, yes, but not impossible.

Check this for the critical mass of AM-242:

After checking, you are correct that smoke detectors contain AM-241, not AM-242 as I noted.
