The Russian advisors who are being evacuated should insist that the plant be brought to safe and orderly shutdown conditions NOW ! If they do so , restart will be much simpler than a SCRAM emergency poisoning of the reactor core . The latter creates a condition which makes a return to criticality lengthy and with greater difficulty .
I have worked in pre-operational and operating plants on four continents during my career , starting at Canada’s first Atomic Research facility near Chalk River , in 1970 . My last ‘job’ was to take over the lead for water chemistry monitoring equipment for a Russian twin unit reactor complex in the former Czech Republic while it was pre-operational .
A lot of the Al Jezeera video is propaganda .
