>>65110580>Soviets commit to the test again>Repeat same dangerous conditions>Still don't understand reactor core physics>Nothing has changed
>>65110522We could use some of those old assault guns from WW2 we got laying around?
>>65110631What did they do?
>>65110580>they just go "Is of fine comrade, what are few bullet holes to the MIGHTY USSR BEAR's ooklear program?">shit somehow explodes even harder
>>65110641Used them as battering rams and fire anti-concrete rounds to punch holes through the walls.
>>65110650Should stress it was planned to fire the anti-concrete rounds to make a hole towards the reactor but I think even the Russians realized that might no be the smartest idea.
>>65110650>>65110657Why tf would you need holes in the reactor? You want to keep the radiatioactive shit contained not exposed.What am I missing?
>>65110670I don't remember the exact details but they needed to get in and drain basement under the reactor that had filled with water from the firefighting efforts that was bubbling away and was a steam explosion hazard. Drilling would take too long and expose the workers to too much radiation so this was seen as the quickest method. Think they dropped the idea altogether and dug a hole underground instead.

Understanding what went wrong could have only happened if it went wrong. The reactors were dangerous as shit, not only to the people of the USSR but to the Entire continent of Europe. This close to zero hour would change nothing because the conditions for the disaster are set. The only thing to do is kill every man who is supposed to be in the control room that night and hope it spooks the government to postpone operations at the plant long enough for things to normalize. Hopefully someone more competent runs the plant but that ticking time bomb of a reactor design is still there and someone somewhere will fuck it up too.We may have to just let the disaster happen to prevent a worse one that could happen later.
>>65110522>>65110687The whole point of the test was generator rundown and balance using the Mercedes truck designed for the testing.No truck no test.
>>65110835>using the Mercedes truck designed for the testingI'm sorry but what

>>65110522Do I speak Russian? Call the plant and ask to leave a message for Comrade Dylatov... > can you let him know his package was dropped off this morning, but I looked in the package and there is a different name on some of the documents, maybe they gave him the wrong forms and he needs to contact the border police before he goes on his holiday to Germany?Let the KGB handle it from there, best chance of getting someone to review the planned test and accuse them of attempted sabotage.
>>65110522I wouldn't be able to stop anything. That was the problem, anyone who objected to party plans was shunned or removed from power or worse.The Rube Goldberg of failure was already well on it's way before 1986
I'm from eastern yurop and I say just let it happen.Maybe make the other 3 reactors also explode.
>>65110522Invite the Kremlin upper echelon for a site tour.
>>65111408Based
>>65111408Yeah, it's the explosion that slowly killed the soviet union.One of the most important events in post-WWII history, if not the most important.
>>65111161It was the Swiss cheese of aviation accidents in action. The reactor details were a state secret, so the reactor technicians weren't aware of the design flaws. Dyatlov was under political pressure to complete the safety tests, so he pushed, despite incomplete preparations. The on duty crew were at the end of a 10-hour shift, but were asked to stay at their posts, despite fatigue.
Overload all the reactors.
>>65110522Even Western propaganda surrounding the event makes the Soviets who participated in containing the situation look like selfless heros. One of the few times the Soviets cleaned up after themselves properly.
>>65110522>assassinate Dyatlov just before Midnight. >Plant US Dollars and letters suggesting he was an American spy on his person. >Letters talk about intentionally causing a nuclear disaster exactly like how it actually happens. >Attack the reactor building, targeting one of the Generators.>Abruptly abort attack and run for the Black Sea as soon as the alarms go off. >Crew scrams reactor, starts search for Dyatlof>Finds planted evidence>KGB gets involved>Test put on hold while KGB investigates.>KGB eventually finds that entire process is fucked and probably wouldn't work even if everything goes right>Safety test declared Capitalist Plot and everyone asking for it is gulag'd >Chill out in Greece while whole thing blows over.
>>65110522Nuke the soviet union before they can ruin nuclear energy forever.
>>65113667This
>>65114171A fellow moderate, I see.
>>65113695>One of the few times the Soviets cleaned up after themselves properlyExcept they didn't.
>>65113695>Even Western propaganda surrounding the event makes the Soviets who participated in containing the situation look like selfless heros.It baffles me how butthurted they were by HBO show, where almost everyone was depicted as a selfless hero. The only thing that series criticized was the system itself... Which probably is why. Fucking vatniks, disgusting creatures.
>>65110522I bring a pencil, paper and leave a note on the front door for them to test all four units rather than just the one. All four reactors go kaboom and I have many chortles and snickers.
>>65110522The whole point of the RMBK reactor that Chernobyl was using, was to turn fuel grade plutonium into weapons grade uranium, with the end result being nebulohs "waste" that could be snuck out and later used to build nukes under the nose of US inspectors.Unless you literally blow up the fucking reactor, you ain't doing shit because the carbon core of the reactor was intentionally dangerous, because the process HAD to be unstable in order to perform the quasi enrichment.
>>65113163The night shift was also composed of the less experienced operators who were also completely unfamiliar with the test since the day shift was originally supposed to carry it out.
>>65114989Probably because they never bothered watching the show
>>65110580Most k poster itt
>>65110580>>Change into civvie clothes, walk into Pripyat for some salo and a glass of kvass>Immediately get KGB'd for sticking out like a sore thumb
>>65111408>>65113127If you make the disaster too much worse, the USSR might not spend so much money and effort trying to hide it.
>>65114989>The only thing that series criticized was the system itself... Which probably is why.That's the worst crime you can commit.
