  • @Azerki1 actually the test which was meant to be carried out on the date of the accident was to power down the reactor but because the test its self was rushed due to a demand for more power from Kiev, the reactor was taken well below its operational load making it unstable. When they tried to push it up to its normal power, the reactor wasn't responding and it quickly melted before the control rods were able to fall inside it's core.

  • @Atomlabor

    I know, it haunts me every night since i first saw this video 2 years ago...

  • 1:05 what a creepy sound

  • What would happen if there was faulty wiring and when he turned it nothing happened? lol you would think with all of those buttons and switches. But i guess they make it perfect and test everyone.

  • thats a fucking shame....

  • As documents say, those workers carried out orders which were given by a party. Or do you think that they dah nothing to do just to play with an atom? The party said. They had no right to disobey. They did everything to make it as safe as they could, but nobody did that experiment before. They are heroes, and the soviet party is guilty for that. If you don't know that, I will say with your words: shut the fuck up!

  • @Azerki1 First of all if you are a such foul-mouthed dork then please try to swear to your mother or father, otherwise you are showing your lack of culture and this do not tune in for a serious conversation. First, where did you see that I wrote that the reactor failed by itself? You fabricated that and now show me your imaginary fact like I wrote it. Second: those perople executed a commands, which were given from above. If you have no who to argue with then go and swear to your parents, not me

  • @KuryloDmytro Acually they are. Imo you should shut the fuck up if you don't know your facts. The power plant didn't fail. They pushed it to its max. The engineers wanted were testing the power plant in failure state but they did a stunt, wanting to prove that it could run at much lower power, which it can't because of the type of reaktor used in them (these types of power planted are used only in Russia and Ukraine i think because the are dangerous. They wanted to prove that they are good).

  • People please be acknowledged with the subject before having your own thought and leaving comments.

  • Hey, they are NOT responsible for the Chernobyl accident!

    What the hell are you talking?
