According to information from operational sources, tomorrow 05.07.2023, at night, the [Ukrainian] APCS will try to attack the NPP [Nuclear Power Plant] using high-precision long-range means. As well as kamikaze UAVs.
At the same time, Ukraine will drop an ammunition loaded with radioactive waste removed from the South Ukrainian NPP on 03.07.2023 from an air carrier flying out of a military airfield in the south of 404.
The backup plan for the release of radioactive substances provides for the use of the ToccaU missile system, with a warhead filled with radioactive substances.
The information was made public with the consent of the [Russian] special services.
Our source in the OP [Office of the President] said that at the exit rate at the Rivne NPP, they discussed scenarios of situations at the Zaporozhye NPP with nuclear engineers and the formats greatly surprised the President's Office. Zelensky was explained that the difference between any future accident as a result of provocation at the NPP and Chernobyl is that Chernobyl was like a boiling boiler with a constant release of radionuclides into the atmosphere, hence the pollution reached Europe, and it flew around the Earth after making a couple of turns. At the [Zaporozhye] NPP, as a result of any provocation, the territory within a radius of a couple of tens of kilometers will be polluted to a greater extent, [but] with an increase in the distance from the epicenter of the explosion, radiation pollution will decrease, radioactive "heavy" elements will rise into the air and settle along the release flare. The main radioactive pollutants in spent fuel at the CNF include: iodine-131, strontium-90, caesium-137, cobalt-60. These are heavy elements, they will not fly far through the air and will settle on the ground for a radius of 3-10 kilometers, depending on the strength of the wind and possibly precipitation.
The consequences will be eliminated by emergency crews within a week. Moreover, it will take a day for monitoring / analysis and decision-making, 3-7 days to eliminate the consequences at the NPP site.
It will not be like Chernobyl, but there will be pollution and an increase in the gamma background.
For now, the gamma background is in the range of 8-12 micro-Roentgens per hour. After the explosion, there will be up to 12,000,000 micro-Roentgens per hour (i.e. 120 milli-Sieverts per hour) in the epicenter. At the Epicenter, this will be a million times greater than normal background radiation.
In a kilometer from the Epicenter there will be from 120 to 1200 micro-Roentgens per hour. Exceeding [background radiation] by a factor between 10 and 100.
⚡️ Ukraine has disconnected the 750 kV power transmission line supplying electricity to the Zaporozhye NPP, adviser to the head of Rosenergoatom Karchaa. Thus, the "404" state is preparing to prevent a jump on its lines so as not to overload.

MoA commenters corroborate
The technical content of the statement is correct, based on my understanding.
The Zaphrohyte PWR's have been shut down for quite a while and the decay heat will be fairly low and falling. They will be using low pressure decay heat removal via electric pumps and heat exchangers, no doubt now powered by diesel generators. The PWR pressure vessels and piping are very thick steel and not readily damaged. The time from shutdown is critical, a point is eventually reached where the decay heat is low enough to be safe.
Bombing the PWR dry store would just make a nasty nuclear mess. It could create a 'China syndrome' critical mass, but this wouldn't explode, just sizzle.
Bombing the NPP would create a filthy radioactive mess and be difficult and expensive to clean up properly.
Just a stupid thing to do. That doesn't usually stop the empire of lies through.
Cheers, Oldengineer

❗️ Ukraine on the night of July 5 intends to hit ZNPP with a Tochka-U missile with a warhead stuffed with nuclear waste – Karchaa

I don't think a ZNPP attack would be helpful to the west at all–in fact, I can't think of many events that would be more likely to get the Russians to wipe Ukraine off the map than this, and even NATO realizes that it would lose on any "escalation."…
Unless of course you look at the world through the prism that we've always been at war with Eurasia.
In which case, the destruction of an essential regional water reservoir, the destruction of invaluable energy assets and, more generally, wholesale destruction of infrastructure, the huge demographic gash, the sowing of ill will, mistrust and the durable severing of relations on a continental scale, the undermining of economic prospect, and so on.
I tend to think that a major nuclear incident with long term regional effects would very much fit in this strategy.

NATO narrative accuses Russia of same thing
On Zaporizhzhia Nuclear PP chatter very heavy about tonight | r/PrepperIntel, a pro-Ukrainian commenter gives the NATO perspective:
TheRealBunkerJohn
Well, they've put explosive charges (or similar) on the roof.
- Russians put items similar to explosive charges on two of six ZNPP units | Ukrainski Pravda
- Zelensky's official Twitter
And the winds blow from East to West as of Weds/Thurs/Friday. (5th, 6th, and 7th respectively)
Radiation-detection vans:
Where sources/discussion are listed:
Individually, none of this information is worrying. But put all the above information together, with evacuations, less personnel by tomorrow, (the 5th) , and the U.S sending a radiation monitoring aircraft to the area, and it becomes extremely ominous.
I consider an event at the power-plant the final batten-down-the-hatches moment. Because we're then on the ladder of nuclear escalation. A low rung, to be sure. But things could either simmer, or rapidly evolve.
It is much hard than it sounds reading about it.
Aren't most of the reactors shutdown. Not all 6 are operating.
Unless there is extensive damage to the site, including the cooling and fuel ponds. it's much hard to put it into meltdown with explosives.
Unlike Fukushima which was fully operational when the Earthquake caused extensive damage to it. It isn't.
There are a few more issues on the cooling ponds and the water supply. After the dam. Waste war and cooling water levels these were dropping after the dam, and needed a regular flow. If they drop extensively, mined reportedly, which they aren't, then it can eventually trigger meltdown if not supplied and possibly an easier target than the cores. Any cores needing sustained direct hits.
I think it's been hyped and it's far more problematical, due to the inception and comparison to other reactors and disasters, where it presents a much bigger risk on whoever holds it in a conflict. Because it still generates power for both. At one point 20% of the national supply.
But unless it's fully targeted by directed strikes. Who knows?
After reading. The biggest danger is the site becoming completely inoperative, where with its radioactive materials, can cause much bigger problems if significantly disrupted. It has been hyped, where unless it's directly targeted, the danger is largely its output in a conflict. A site operating under threat, housing the potential for larger disaster.
There are fewer ways it is goes into critical mass. The water flow becoming disrupted, not accessed, and possibly leaking waste. Direct strikes causing significant damage, or prolonged damage. It's not Chernoboyl and isn't operating at the same capacity as Fukushima.
The hype is it operating by a hostile side that can potentially cause disaster if it becomes completely inoperable and if waste materials escape?
