Of course, they needed to test this, which required starting the reactor and running it up to a given power output. When they couldn't get anywhere near the power output required for the test, they basically threw the operators manual out the window. Every control rod was fully withdrawn, to include the manual only failsafes. They basically primed to melt down.
It then suddenly jumped from a low power setting, to well beyond its design limitations. The reactor was immedietly SCRAMed, but it failed.
The control rods dropped, only to break due to thermal shock. Meanwhile, the water in the reactor began to boil and shot the control rods out of the core. This lead to farther thermal runaway, causing the water to undergo thermolysis, providing a perfect fuel/oxidizer mix inside the reactor and a source of ignition.
This now fuel air bomb blasted the lid clean off the reactor and, given the reactor hall's sheet metal roof, clear out of the building.
This explosion provided enough heat to the graphite moderators to ignite them. Of course, C + 2O2 = CO2. Radioactive CO2. And the blast and fire produced updrafts which drew graphite dust into the atmosphere.
Meanwhile, Soviet leaders decide to sit on their a$$ for three days before announcing they had an incident.
In the U.S., we call this criminal negligence. Chernobyl was easily avoidable if the operators had a single iota of intelligence. They didn't even bother to consult the designer even after they disabled every last safety device on the reactor.
a little more flavor to this mod though would be great! i mean im loving Rimafeller as is.
