Few of those tweets aren't accurate, the last one for example, here is a tweet explaining why that one is nonsense. It was a natural fluctuation which occurred before the explosion, in addition, depleted uranium wouldn't cause a spike, it's a nothing burger increase which is within perfectly normal levels.
Addendum:

A good thread explaining the reporting of a rise in radiation, that started before the strikes...https://t.co/KlFdJfMMZP
Unknown what was actually stored in Khmelnytskyi.
We know that it was an old storage facility with old soviet ammunition. It's impossible to assess what is blown up.

NATO Helps Ukraine Dispose of Ammunition - Ukraine was in the process of disposing of old and volatile Soviet ammunition and rockets, it is possible it was that as it is in the same area.
Це старі ракети часів совка, що чекали утилізації. Хмельницький гарнізон, як і Первомайський р-н - це і були ті самі рвсн (ракетні війська стратегічного призначення), входили до складу 43-ї ракетної армії. Звісно ж координати цих локацій є на картах наших йобнутих сусідів https://t.co/zwLhQiVuuk

"These are old rockets from the time of the scoop, waiting to be disposed of. The Khmelnytskyi garrison, as well as the Pervomaysky district, were the same RVSN (missile forces of strategic purpose), which were part of the 43rd Missile Army. Of course, the coordinates of these locations are on the maps of our stupid neighbours"
It appears it was either housing Soviet-era aerial bombs, rocket fuel or both. I've seen a lot of ammo explosions during the course of this and I'm obviously no expert but it looks like a fuel explosion to me and nothing like an ammo explosion which tends to cook off and have repeated explosions.
Would also explain that Russia knew where it was, they've targeted Soviet-era storage facilities a lot because it's the ones they know.
