The station managers presumably wished to correct this at the first opportunity, which may explain why they continued the test even when serious problems arose, and why the requisite approval for the test had not been sought from the Soviet nuclear oversight regulator (even though there was a representative at the complex of four reactors).
Os administradores da planta presumiblemente querían corrixir este feito á primeira oportunidade, o que pode explicar porque se continuou coa proba incluso cando comezaron a presentarse problemas serios, e porque a aprobación necesaria para a mesma non se solicitara ao regulador de supervisión nuclear soviético (a pesar de que había un representante no complexo dos catro reactores).
