POST 3: CHERNOBYL

It was initially almost impossible for the Russians to believe and accept the reality, i.e. that an RBMK-1000 reactor actually EXPLODED!!

In the institutes / institutions where Russian nuclear operators received their training, students were taught what could go wrong with a nuclear reactor. The most common problems are cooling pipes that burst / leak and cause the reactor to overheat.

Another problem is when uranium fuel rods rupture and generate an excess of superheated high pressure steam that can lead to powerful steam explosions.

But one thing has been drilled into their heads to the point of boredom....... a nuclear reactor, and specifically the RBMK models, CANNOT EXPLODE!!

Well, on Saturday, April 26, 1986 at 01:23:40 this doctrine was proved wrong with disastrous consequences.
