During the Chernobyl disaster, the reactor’s fuel rods were central to turning a routine test into a catastrophe. An improper shutdown caused an unexpected power surge, and when graphite-tipped control rods were inserted, their design briefly increased reactivity, overheating the fuel rods. The overheated rods ruptured, turning water into steam and triggering a massive explosion that destroyed the reactor. Exposed to air, the graphite ignited, releasing radioactive material into the atmosphere.

Quantum Enigma | Future of AI & Tech on Instagram: "Step by step - What Really Happened Inside Reactor 4 1. Operating the reactor in a forbidden low-power zone The reactor was dragged down to 200 MW a level RBMKs were never designed to run at. Reactivity became unstable, and xenon buildup crippled control. 2. Control rods pulled out beyond safe limits To compensate for the low power, operators withdrew far too many rods. This violated every operating rule and left the reactor without enough nega
