Now that the dust has settled, can we all accept that he was stitched up by the government and the KGB, that he was simply following instructions and wasn't informed of the fact the RBMK reactor had significant design flaw, and that ultimately, he did nothing wrong?

>wasn’t informed of the rbmk having design flaws
Neither was just about everyone else involved. This is the USSR user, and it was trying to show the potential future it had planned starting with Chernobyl as quickly as possible.
>did nothing wrong
Highly debatable, he decided to go ahead with the test without the failsafes or even proper procedure after all the warnings were made about doing so. Regardless he was playing with fire and got burned in the process.
Parker Barnes
They were so far out of the parameters of the test that even if it had worked they'd have had to re-run it anyway. Should have just said "fuck it we'll run it tomorrow when those fuckwits from Kiev aren't whining about power levels."
Caleb Evans
He decided to go ahead with the tests because of pressure from higher ups and the fact he was expressly assured that it was impossible for an RBMK reactor to explode. He would clearly have acted differently had he known such an event was possible.

>Akimov died while repairing damages
>D'atlov wrote book on how he dindunuffin and how the reactor was akshually inherently flawed
Jayden Gonzalez
>he was a cowardly little bitch who wouldn't take responsibility
Yeah, that about sums it up
Grayson Wright
In Dyatlov's mind he had two choices:
1. Move the test and get scapegoated by higher ups and possibly shitcanned
2. Do the test and present bad data
There were literally no downsides to option 2 in his mind because he wasn't informed that his doing so could cause the reactor to explode. How is that his fucking fault that the system was insanely corrupt?
Nolan Diaz
He did plenty of shit wrong but the designers of the nuclear reactor didn't do their job by making it idiot proof

Either way you don’t fuck around with a potential nuclear bomb right next to you when it's clearly violating the safety rules.
Owen Martin
>potential nuclear bomb
Literally nobody perceived it as such.
