  • This video is a simple and brief overview of the final eight minutes before, and twenty-five or so minutes after, the explosion of the fourth reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant on April 26th, 1986. This is a very basic version of what I have planned for the future, so we'll see where we are next year. :)

    Watching it in realtime, it's surprising how quickly everyone reacted. A lot of documentaries make it seem much slower than it was, perhaps accidentally because they're trying to get so much information to the viewer at each step. It's interesting to compare it to how one's own workplace responds to a crisis.

    Nice effort, but needs refinement: 10+ rows text lasts for 1 second, being impossible to read, while 2 rows text last for minutes. I know you want to follow the events that happened so fast at the AZ-5 moment, but you just need to slow-mo those critical seconds. Some typos also. Have these little glitches fixed and you got a tremendous work here. 👍

    So as far as I understand, the AZ-5 button wasn't pressed in order to counter the sudden power surge as it was depicted in that terrible show, it was pressing AZ-5 that caused it? Was scramming the reactor at one point a part of the experiment they ran, a necessary step they had to undertake? How come Akimov ordered Toptunov to shut down the reactor twice, did he think Toptunov failed to understand him the first time?

    • @MinSredMash
      @MinSredMash Місяць тому +1

      Scramming the reactor was supposed to be part of the test, right when the turbine started running down. But evidently there was a miscommunication and they only remembered to shut down 36 seconds later.

    So, unlike the HBO series implies, the 200 MW power level didn't render the test useless. As long as there was enough steam being generated to get the turbines up to speed it doesn't matter whether the reactor is at 200 or 700 MW. The test had nothing to do with the reactor core itself, it had to do with how much electricity the turbines could produce as they were slowing down, and if that electricity was enough to keep the circulation pumps running until the backup generators came up to speed.
