I don't know all the details, but apparently there was a 'possibility' that, when the AZ-5 button was hit, the control rods would descend but not properly enter the reactor core; rather, when they touched the edge they would cause a power surge which would cause them to jam barely half-in and not doing much good. The power surge however would cause even more problems to the rest of the atomic power station. This 'statistical possibilty' was known to the original designer and also a few big-wigs high up in the Politburo but it had been buried in an official report and not made widely available. Certainly the every day staff at Chenobyl never knew of the risk/possibility of it all going pear-shaped.

The fact that the reactor was runing for hours in a low state where it created Xenon inside the core.

Actually the auto-safety system would have blown it up. They had pushed it into a dangerous state that was hard to back out of. The correct solution from this point was to lower the control rods one at a time. Among the many design flaws in this reactor, lowering the control rods momentarily increases reaction rate. Normally this is not a problem, but when they've built up so many three-day isotopes and are so close to prompt critical it's deadly.

Yes, I worked at a nuclear power plant in Maryland (now retired) when this disaster struck. Some time after it happened we had a meeting where the official report of what happened was read by our supervisor. From what I remember, they were trying to perform some type of test which required the reactor to be at a low level. Problem was, at that level it became unstable and was going to auto shut down. To prevent that, they disconnected the safety systems. Unexpectedly, the reaction increased rapidly to the point of the reactor exploding, so quickly it occurred - a matter of seconds - that they didn't have enough time to get the control rods inserted into the core. It was sheer stupidity on the part of the control room operators. The other problem was that the reactor building itself wasn't strong enough to contain the explosion and allowed the radioactive fire and contamination to blow out into the atmosphere.

What people forget is that due to politics, this station went online before it was fully commissioned, and this commissioning test should've been completed BEFORE the station was licenced to operate. The rest that say, is history.

Was that a scene from total recall I saw when the control rods went into mars surface?

The acting matches the decision making of those actually involved.

It seems insane to me that they didn't understand the process well enough to prevent this from happening.

Rave. In reality, everyone spoke in a calm voice. Emergency protection (AZ-5) was both to prevent the explosion and for the STANDARD stop of the reactor. After the experience was completed, the reactor was stopped PLANNED by clicking on AZ-5. The explosion is a consequence of the "end effect" - shortcomings of designers.

I'm sorry, but in NO way does this compare to the real chills (I got) from the HBO 5-part mini-series (though, I admit, this little clip's all I've - so far - seen of the whole film), they've done 'typical' things, i.e., have background music for this, which, in the HBO scene, there's none during this whole sequence, only the eerie silence, punctuated by an alarm, or an ominous rumble, making it just pure nail-biting torture (in the first episode, the very beginning, when it's night, and we're in the fireman's apartment, the window's in the centre, and you can tell that the central part is the reactor. When there's an instantaneous beam of incredibly bright, white light, shooting straight up, most people (watching the film, as well as those, who were AT the real area of the tragedy) are caught off-gaurd by it. A few seconds later, there's a deep, powerful rumble, and explosion does it become crystal clear; the sound and noise were only part of it. The blast of white light was the other part, and that we've just witnessed a massive disaster. I don't know what the actor's (real) name who's playing the Anatoly Dyatlov part, but, here - though hey make him (obviously) 'in-charge', in HBO's Chernobyl, Paul Ritter was ruthless, uncaring to the point that he didn't even believe the data, unless he could somehow make it conform what he thought it should be. The disaster was caused by a string of terrible coincidences, and it's much more likely that - in the Soviet Union, people were less than 'people', but, more accurately just a small part (of whatever it was that they were involved in/with), and therefore, they didn't care about the totality - only that their small part was correct/efficient, etc, and, here the Dyatlov-character seems more human, and just...stupid, but, in the HBO mini-series, he was ruthless to the point that the entire plant could drop into the pit of hell, just as long as what HE was in charge of, DID asmthey were expected, and followed EVERY rule.

@@KManXPressTheU That too, as well as ignoring an obvious design flaw. They had at least two warnings with AZ-5 causing power spikes in the past prior to shutdown, one with Chernobyl-4 itself if I'm not mistaken, and another with a different RBMK-1000. What did they do? "Nah, it'll be fine."

@@KManXPressTheU Yeah, it was a way to get a little more "mileage" out of barely or not at all enriched Uranium, instead of letting water that was just a weaker absorber replace the control rod in the channel as it's withdrawn, you pull up a moderator instead. Decent idea, just needed refinement which they ignored until it was too late. Also, they never planned on having the reactor in such a f***** configuration as it was.
