This is the control room of Chernobyl Reactor 4. In this room, on April 26th, 1986, a series of mistakes, failures, and errors led to the reinsertion of all the control rods, causing three explosions.
On April 26, 1986, a catastrophic explosion at Reactor 4 of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine unleashed massive amounts of radioactive material into the atmosphere. The disaster devastated nearby communities, caused long-term environmental damage, and remains a chilling reminder of nuclear risks. Chernobyl's impact continues to shape energy policies and global safety standards. #Chernobyl #NuclearDisaster #April26 #OnThisDay #HistoryMatters #ChernobylDisaster #NuclearEnergy…
Chernobyl did not have a thick steel reactor vessel inside the shield around the core itself that Fukushima and Three Mile Island had to keep the fuel inside in the event of a problem. Description from mount-oregano.livejournal.com. I searched for this on bing.com/images
On April 26, 1986, Reactor #4 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant near the town of Pripyat, Ukraine, exploded. The explosion took place at 1:23am while the neighboring town of Pripyat slept. Two workers were killed instantly. 40 hours later, the residents of Pripyat were ordered to evacuate, and most never returned; by that time, many of the residents had suffered varying degrees of radiation poisoning.

Radioactive Survival Lessons from the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster – MIRA Safety
Chernobyl was home to the most catastrophic nuclear disaster of the 20th Century. And now, with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, history may be destined to repeat itself. Just weeks into the conflict, the Russian army laid siege to Europe’s largest power plant in Zaporizhzhia, setting it ablaze and denying access to firefighters who arrived to put out the blaze. Russians ultimately took control of the power plant—but not before inflicting enough damage to force the shutdown of two of its six…
