@Nathan-65: It was both. There was a test to simulate a full energy black out, to see if the most important systems still can be supported until complete shut-down. For this there must be a little "rest-reaction" left. They where far below this minimum reaction rate as they started the test, so the reactor wasn't able to support itself, to compare that, the crew increased the reaction rate of the already overheating reactor, so it get's complete out of control and finally blows up.
May i ask did u create this map yourself? ;)
@iconoclast, annabet_h will say same thing, but it wont be a joke. idk what's she.
@Nathan-65 They were conducting a test to determine if the reactor could function entirely on its own power.
To the present day, it is not recommended to collect mushrooms in Germany, because they accumulate heavy elements, including the radioactive fallout. Chernobyl is one of humanities worst catastrophes and will hopefully teach us a lesson.
I tagged it cheeki breeki beacuse i played the game S.T.A.L.K.E.R
The causes of this disaster are operator error or faulty construction, i think, anyway +1
No offense, but you misspelled "Chernobyl". Otherwise, great FILT art! +1
