One possible explanation is that it's not a centrally issued order, and it comes from the same ignorance that drove them to dig trenches in the deadly earth in Chernobyl.
It sounds crazy but it's been relayed by Ukrinform and the official Energoatom channels.

There can't be a return to pleasantry from this. This is beyond indefensible.
Might be propaganda, since Bloomber is reporting this: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-08-08/russia-in...
Then again, that might be propaganda as well..
Yes. Definitely propaganda.
Of course the Russians are certain to blow up the reactor to ensure that the prevailing westerly winds blow radio-active debris and fallout all across the thousands of kilometres of Russian land. /S

Energoatom claims that Ukrainian intelligence services are aware of the fact that Russian forces had rigged the site of the nuclear power plant with explosives.
It sounds terrible....but it's all second hand sources, specifically the Ukrainian Intelligence. The whole story of the nuclear power plant doesn't pass the sniff test and the Guardian article is a bit more critical of it. Why would Russia bomb their own forces that they hold? Why would Russia blow up a nuclear plant in territory it wants to own, next to the Southern heartland of their country.
