  2. Commissioned in 1983 Reactor No 4 has not been tested for low power(House Load) operation , while start testing suddenly reactor power go to zero , the famous Chief instructed operating personnel bring back to low power , the operators not knowing reactor dynamics ( Some time has to be given for reactor to regain control due to design defect , not at all included in the SOP manual) , immediately trying to bring back reactor to minimum load resulting unstable operation reactor power peak to level no one can measure huge thermal power , then exploded, .
    The remaining 3 reactor were in operation till year 2000 is a miracle.

  3. Don't watch this. It is useless. He does not mention that it was that the rods were withdrawn and when they were put back it that is what caused the explosion. He skipped vital steps in the cause of the accident.

  4. Unfortunately, genocidal thermonuclear WW3 is not too far away, please follow the latest news at "Countdown World News" page of RKK Book website. At the website you can purchase the book which tells about the kind of events which are heading our way if greed and ego-centrism in the world affairs continue their reign. Humankind has been playing with nuclear fire since 1945, and the bottom line is, if we continue doing so, this fire will consume us one day. Now is the time to turn to God-given wisdom and make the only right step as it might be too late to do so tomorrow. We have responsibility to take a good care of our children and ensure they have a future.
