The reactor doesn't look that big. I know it's big and encompasses several stories, but from the lid it doesn't look too enormous. Astounds me just how much steam pressure must have been built up in that thing to blow it off. And then how such a small area could vomit such a huge amount of radioactive nuclei.

What are those grid of steel boxes covering the floor of what looks like a reactor building? In the movie they start moving up and down independently responding to pressure inside. But what is their function and why so many?

@Cailyn_Amanda

4 жыл бұрын

They're called channel caps- they're steel and concrete. There were 2044 technological channels in the reactor core, and each channel has its own cap. Those caps cover the channels to protect hardware, servo motors for control rods, and allow workers access to various portions of the 17m (55.8ft) diameter reactor covering by providing a space to walk across. For refueling, workers would remove those caps (it took 2 people to lift one) so that the refueling machine could center over the channel and begin the refueling process. We have no actual evidence that those channel caps ever bounced up and down. The person who is said to have witnessed it (Perevozchenko) was actually in the control room of block 4 at the time of the explosion. It was a myth invented to dramaticize what happened in a book written by Grigori Medvedev, and unfortunately has only been perpetuated by HBO and urban legend.

@jasonmurawski5877

They are the caps covering the 2044 channels in the reactor core. Some of them had control rods under them, most had fuel. It was impossible for the caps to jump like in the HBO movie however. Under the main cap there was a plug that was threaded into the top of the lid, the refueling machine would lift out the cap, unthread the plug slowly to equalize pressures, and then it would remove the old fuel and put in new fuel.
