I did consider the safety / crash aspect, but considered, as they are usually cast in glass, this a quite minor risk. I was thinking a cheap basic ICBM launcher straight at *our* sun (so no compo there I suppose). Dunno about the energy usage but I believe the used nuclear rods are quite small so reckon maybe a years worth on one launch. Just an idea.
