— for months. They have effectively tried to steal the plant's power capacity by linking it to Russia's national power grid, but they've failed. The worker said he believed Moscow's"plan B" was to simply sabotage the Zaporizhzhia plant, which has sat largely idle for months, so Ukraine can't use it either.

Then you have a meltdown. Then you have a big radiological nuclear emergency or an accident, and this is what we are trying to prevent.
