Re: "The Chernobyl disaster very probably a sabotage" ["no, just same procedure as last year"]

In article <IuWHi.4254$Bm1.2498@trnddc01>, notmyname@xxxxxxxxxxxx says...


Explanations given for why they decided to go ahead with the test include:

Because the test was scheduled to be carried out just before a planned
shutdown for routine maintenance, the operators were under extra
pressure. If the test could not be performed successfully this time,
then they would have to wait another year for the next shutdown.

The test was perceived as an electrical test only and had been conducted
uneventfully before. Thus the operators did not think carefully enough
about the effects on the reactor. There is reportedly a strong
possibility that the test was being supervised by representatives of the
turbine manufacturer instead of the normal operators.

Not credible, those explanations, I still hold.

Pressure on them or not, many operators would have known that
the "procedure this year" posed an enormous danger, to say the least.

Everything does point to foul play.

Those who're arguing against this have done so rather explicitly
out of a stanpoint that the ruling people in the big powers of today
and yesterday you can basically trust.

But lots of things show that you cannot.
