The main causes of the Chernobyl accident

Six major violations of the regulations approved by operators of process control of the 4th power unit of the nuclear power plant. Relatively speaking, the basic safety of operation of the reactor was broken. The last violation was the most serious, and it became one of the main causes of the Chernobyl accident according to experts’ estimates, namely, the removal of more than 96% of the control graphite rods from the active region of the reactor (and this is about 203 rods).

As a result of the above, the reactor went into an uncontrolled chain reaction, which in its turn ended with a thermal explosion of the 4th power unit.
