Just so everybody knows: the statement that "if it blows up, it will be 10 times larger than Chornobyl", is absolute nonsense.
This is a bad situation because it is an attack on a nuclear plant with people in it, not because it can "blow up" and be "larger than Chornobyl".

First: if seismic sensors at the plant were triggered (for example if shells or bombs are used) the reactors which are of very different design would shut down automatically.
Second: the main risk at the plant is that cooling does not get to the reactor cores over time.

The containment domes around the reactors are extremely strong.
They will not be affected by light arms or moderate fire from heavier arms.
The worry is in interruption of plant cooling procedures after the reactors shut down.

The interruption of plant cooling is an issue that would unfold over much, much longer period of time than the explosion event at Chornobyl.
US media is repeating Kuleba's false statements.
This must stop.
This must stop.
