A more significant flaw was in the design of the control rods that are inserted into the reactor to slow down the reaction. In the RBMK reactor design, the lower part of each control rod was made of graphite and was 1.3 meters shorter than necessary, and in the space beneath the rods w...

Fig. 3 RBMK reactor core (D'Auria 2005) Reactivity initiated event The Chernobyl accident was a so called "reactivity initiated event", which means that the control over the reactor power was lost, and that the power output of the reactor increased tremendously in a short time period. The ...
The radiation levels in the worst-hit areas of the reactor building, including the control room, have been estimated at 300Sv/hr, (300,000mSv/hr) providing a fatal dose in just over a minute. The reactor staff struggled to establish the levels of radiation following the explosion as one ...
He had to take manual control of flow of water from turbine as auto-controller did not work at such low power. This was a complex task; the reactor was unstable and it was close to being shut down even by emergency rods. But since test was planned, the operator disabled number of emer...
The vast and empty Chernobyl Exclusion Zone around the site of the world's worst nuclear accident is a baleful monument to human mistakes. Yet 35 years after a power plant reactor exploded, Ukrainians also look to it for ...
Since 1986, the radioactive site has remained frozen in time, and off limits to the public, after a reactor at the plant exploded. The resulting fallout spurred a crisis for the people of the nearby city of Pripyat, Ukraine — and for those living miles and miles away. Today, a protec...
