[Final Fantasy 7 Remake] What was Avalanche's plan?

When they disabled the first reactor, they don't mean to destroy it, Shinra did it.

So, they disable the reactor, what's stopping Shinra from repair the damage in a couple of days?

Nothing, but that's time and money that Shinra has to waste on that, rather than continuing to murder the planet. It also shows to others that Shinra isn't invincible, and would theoretically help boost recruitment.
