I am surprised, though, that it took him so long. Maybe he had trouble getting the story from his Zelensky PR/propaganda comrades.
Discredited. Slight rise in radiation happened 48 hours BEFORE explosion.
The "radioactive spike" reports are also undermined by the actual timeline of events, as well as misleading use of the monitoring data.
Thus, for example, a graph used in the Gateway Pundit report and in other tweets appears to show a sudden jump in radiation levels, but the actual increase, according to EC data, begins on May 11, 2023, at least 48 hours before the missile barrage hit the area (at which point radiation level actually dropped slightly).
Further, the changes in the radiation levels appear to be fairly minor, peaking at about 155 nanoSieverts per hour (compared to 165 nSv/h recorded in Kharkiv on May 8, or nearly 500 nSv observed near the Chernobyl exclusion zone over the past week.)
As other social media users pointed out, parts of Germany, for example, also saw compatible spikes, but no "nuclear accident" claims have emerged on the back of that.

Elsewhere I have seen the modest increase in radiation on the 11th and 12th, before the bombing on the 14th, described as caused by a strong CME (coronal mass ejection from the sun). If the sun sends Gamma rather than Alpha, that would seem a clear explanation. Also the fact that on those 2 days the same 150 levels were seen in Karkiv, whereas permanently contaminated Chernoble reading was 500 makes it pretty clear nothing especially nuclear was happening at this impressive bombing site.
With no blinding white blast, and the explanation about colors of fuel and other explosions I have seen, I would suspect perhaps some aviation fuel exploded, not DU or other radioactive sources.
