Plan plant offline. it provides 20% of ukraines power. and they can control the plant. already one of the reactors has been shut down. thats one way to increase russias leverage over ukraine and the west. >> thats my understanding what the u.s. intel assessments coming in, russia doesnt want to destroy them, but use them, cut off the power supply so they could use that to lay siege to cities. i want to ask, though, because, listen, it is combat, there are a lot of bombs flying around this countr...

Level. this would have been quite serious. couldve been multiple ways that they could have been a meltdown. that there couldve been a breach of the containment facility. couldve seen an artillery shell hit the spent fuel ponds. which are unprotected, completely unprotected. having those fuel rods feet up and explode. this is a disaster waiting to happen. it is not over yet. the fact that they are operating at gunpoint, under duress, without a shift change, cut off from their family. even under t...
