This is the trial which took place in the club-house, in Chernobyl.
The trial, in which the director, the chief engineer,...
and the whole team of managers were being tried... at the time of the accident.
– … Dyatlov, Kovalenko and Laushkin
hadn’t provided for approval of the test program running in the nuclear dangerous regime with their scientific supervisor
The director could have declined...
...the plan of the experiment.
The director, in general, could do a lot.
But the director was a heat-and-power engineer.
Not a nuclear engineer.
Personally, I gained the impression that the plant was operated mainly by heat-and-power engineers.
It seems, there was no department of nuclear safety,...
no radiation safety department,...
and no radiometric tracking, effectively organized.
Well, there was nothing at this plant!
It seems, like the plant was operated very carelessly.
Some of them, and most of them were to blame.
They were to blame for undertaking that program...
...designed by "Dontekhenergo" for them.
"Dontekhenergo" is an organization that has nothing to do with Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
Moreover, this program was doomed to failure, at the outset.
Why? Because...
...a similar experiment had been...
...carried out at the plant in Tomsk when Vladimir Fuks acted as the director of the NPP.
Later, he headed South Ukraine NPP.
Our teacher, as we called him...
...behind his back.
But here, well, except for the director, I believe the rest...
...fulfilled his instructions.
Moreover, they were confident in this reactor.
Hadn’t they intervened into the plant electric scheme,...
...the fool-proof safety system
would have been automatically activated, which was not perfect at the time of the accident,...
...but it would have prevented unfortunate consequences occurred as a result of the accident.
- ...Before the scientific director, the chief designer, the chief developer, Gosatomenergonadzor...
Control rods - reactor control and protection system rods –...
...they didn’t fall because there was an interference into the electric scheme,...
...i. e. terminal blocks had been disassembled,...
...removed from the connector blocks, these contacts.
I ... later on, I certainly don’t want to comment on this!
If the control rods had dropped, the reactor...
...would have shut down.
And the chain reaction in it would not have had those consequences.
That is, the explosion would hardly have occurred, in the reactor...
...with lowered control rods. It would have been simply shut down, that reactor.
- It was impossible to timely make appropriate adjustments...
- All the works have been completed ahead of schedule.
And we are commissioning the substation to supply power to the main building.
- Thank you for the high quality of the work performed! Energize!
