CHERNOBYL TRAGEDY
Technicians stationed in the control room at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant are seated at their respective stations. The room itself is characterized by a cool concrete environment, with the air being somewhat damp. "We are initiating a safety test now," one of the operators communicates. The fuel rods within nuclear reactor Unit 4 commence their movement. Unexpectedly, a power surge within the core occurs. Simultaneously, a siren begins to blare within the control room, while red lights start flashing, casting a blood-red illumination across the countenances of the men present in the chamber. This sequence of events triggers an uncontrollable chain reaction within the nuclear reactor. One of the operators rapidly advances toward a control panel, forcefully pressing the emergency shutdown button with his fist. However, the control rods become jammed in their journey toward the core. Just 54 seconds after the commencement of the test, an explosion ensues.
