Unsafe Nuclear Electricity - Chernobyl

Can we trust our governments to produce #electricity http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_disaster#Causes in a safe and clean way? We can do it ourselves!

Can you imagine that somebody will come and turn your light off? It is very possible if you don't pay. Do you have a plan B?

This was exactly what concerned the manager of the nuclear power plant in Chernobyl. What if I loose the outward electric supply and will have to start my diesel generator to keep pumping water through the cooling system?

This guy couldn't sleep at night trying to produce a workable plan B to bridge the 1 minute gap of not pumping water. Year after year he was experimenting. He didn't tell anything to his boss in hope to find a solution as fast as possible.

He planned an experiment for tonight. To imitate the problem he planned some favorable conditions to start with. He knew that in the case of failure (like last couple times) he will still control the situation and this assumption led him to disable some safety features.

The crew wasn't very experienced and knowledgeable in the nuclear technology and entered into the experiment under slightly different circumstances. The situation went out of control and death toll started to roll.
