In 1975 & 1982 a Soviet designed RBMK reactor would experience a fuel melting event, and would signal the dangers of a flawed design, but these signals would fall on deaf ears.

This one is a double bill and an intro to the RBMK reactor. It will form part 1 of a new series of videos on Chernobyl. Think of this as the hobbit is to the lord of the rings that was the Chernobyl  disaster in 86.

This is the Last video before Christmas, happy holidays!
