Where does it say that any US nuclear power plant was damaged due to the virus?

It doesn't. But that doesn't mean that the virus wasn't found on the control systems of US companies. Stuxnet was a very discriminating virus that would infect lots of computers but only trigger malicious effects if the host met certain criteria. It was a targeted cyber-weapon.
