Would this not make a total sense if you assumed that Ukrainians wanted to get Russians out of Chernobyl and what not better way than having Russian soldiers read news that radioactivity in the area is at all time high? Secondly, a news in the West that Russians are possibly messing up with nuclear infrastructure would only encourage support for Ukraine.

In this context seems like a win/win situation for Ukraine. The might loose some credibility but if a true disaster happens independent inspectors can be flew in on day's notice and take measurements.

Yeah besides that, Russia is very big on fake news and misdirection themselves. It makes total sense to turn their own trick back on them. Remember when they shot down MH17 and fabricated all sorts of fake radar images to pretend it was shot down by a Ukrainian fighter?

And yeah really good idea to scare the shit out of their soldiers to undermine morale. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to have had much effect.

The readings from a few sensors really have no importance compared to your civilians being systematically executed like in Bucha.
