Ms May said: "You have that risk of critical mass because the core of the reactor is Plutonium." Plutonium reactors can't blow up (like a nuclear bomb) any more than Uranium reactors. And, Uranium reactors can't either. Even the 90%+ enriched reactors the US Navy uses in all of its aircraft carriers and submarines can't blow up like a nuclear bomb. I'm afraid that, at least on this point, she doesn't know what she's talking about.
FYI to anyone looking for May's discussion of nuclear, it starts around 29:46

She's wrong on all points. Nuclear is the most reliable energy source with an average 91% capacity factor.
