>ran the reactor to the brink he thought the AZ-5 would work. he thought there was a failsafe. not his fault it was a detonator switch, he had no idea. that information was deliberately kept from him >he was just out for his own best interest like everyone else in the world? you're telling me you've never cut a corner at work to get a job done, go home early or angle for a promotion? >his behaviour after the reactor exploded he was in shock and had a breakdown. not a commendable trait but nothing to throw him in jail over. he saw the graphite from the window in episode one, he knew it exploded, he just couldn't reconcile reality. its not uncommon in extreme high stress situations.
What the fuck are you talking about? He was in the toilet.
Mason Foster
>he thought the AZ-5 would work. And this makes it ok to run a reactor to the brink?
Elijah Kelly
Nice excuses OP, do Hitler next.
Carter Mitchell

Oliver Gutierrez

Cameron Reyes
He's also a fictional character
Luke Flores
>you're telling me you've never cut a corner at work to get a job done, go home early or angle for a promotion you've never done any of those things you larping neet
Xavier Martin
He was just an old engineer, hired to do some wet work.
no, but in his mind he wasn't putting any lives at risk. his understanding was he could shut down the reactor at any time but dumping all the control rods.
Alexander Moore
t. Dyatlov
Anthony Young
>He didn't win
I'd say that about sums it up.
Aaron Rogers
he did volunteer to check the reactor himself to see if it assploded but collapsed immediately. it was his bosses who should have seen what was going on and not sent akimov up there on a suicide mission.
Connor Flores
He sent several people to their deaths under threat of gunfire due to his denial of reality
Julian Wright
Those incompetent night shift workers poisoned his core
Hunter Jenkins
FROM THE DUSTY MASON
Jackson Martinez
that was Bryukhanov and Fomin, not Dyatlov. Dyatlov was puking his guts out at that moment.
Charles Morales
>tfw cause a nuclear "accident" that leads to the collapse of the country that mistreated you
Can someone Photoshop clown paint on Dyatlov in this pic?
Chase Jenkins
IT doesn't matter what he saw, he knows in what society he lives in and that RBMK reactions can't explode, because the state told him so, so he has to play the state actor or get fucking shot
Bentley Cook
Quite a lot, those are expensive because they're basically cast in one big piece in high-grade steel
Jose Wilson
yes. under safe conditions with no xenon build up and all the control rods
Charles Watson
That's like speeding and assuming the airbags will work "hey it ain't my fault they didn't go off lmfao"
Jeremiah Watson
Yes, or at least it should have been. They didn't at Chernobyl's No. 4 reactor because they wanted to get it online early.
Julian Sullivan
millions of rubels
Henry Mitchell
Not rly how it works but go awf
Benjamin Morales
but it's actually safer to driver faster in the wrong gear
Alexander Diaz
Now imagine not being told that those brakes were wired to the gas.
Aiden Wood
Why did they have graphite tips on the control rods? Who fucking designed it : explody faceov
Tyler Sanders
That's not true. In the last episode his subordinates make constant sugerences that they should've turned down the whole reactor for a day, to build up the power safely. His recklessness was dangerous and he was aware. Truly, they weren't as catastrophically dangerous as the mistake he wasn't aware of, but he still was putting infrastructure and people and risk.
And disregarding that, he wanted to run a test on useless conditions. So in the best case he was a fraud that wanted to falsificate a report.
>control rods are raised to increase reactivity >water rushes in to till the gap created which reduces reactivity, nullifying the objective >graphite tips stop water filling the gap and provide a boost to reactivity too >this is only a problem when all control rods are lowered at the same time when az-5 is pressed
If the AZ-5 had worked we'd have a meltdown instead of an explosion, that's not much better faggot
Levi Howard
Just burnt concrete
Noah Cook
LOL a RMBK reactor cannot melt down, you are delusional
Cooper Walker
I guessing that nuclear reactors in America are full of bored staff and they browse Yea Forums judging by the staggering level of nuclear knowledge on here.
Aaron Roberts
What would have happened if they did not press a5-Z?
Cameron Cruz
I know more know about RMBK reactors than my car.
Brandon Edwards
it would blow up
Aaron Martinez
My estimation would be meltdown without explosion.
Luis Turner
Same shit. He pressed it too late, there were no brakes at that car by then.
Juan Reyes
They could have gotten it under control by pumping in water and slowly lowering control rods Possibly some minor meltdown and leaks
Josiah Murphy
>the core exploded Are you stupid Yea Forums?
Dylan Richardson
>actions lead to untold commie deaths >fall of iron curtain >bye bye USSR
Why would your car know anything about nuclear reactors?
Caleb Cooper
>unironically an 'end communism' button >some madman pressed it top kek history is fucking based
Lincoln Morales
He had a point that an unfair amount of blame was shifted onto him. The reactor really was badly designed and he didn't break protocol as much as people claimed. Still doesn't mean he wasn't a colossal and delusional fuckup.
> he knew it exploded, he just couldn't reconcile reality. >not his fault Fuck you op
Mason Harris
OP is delusional, take him to the infirmary
Aiden Phillips
Why didn't the eagles just press the reactor plate down so it wouldn't be blown through the roof
Logan Flores
The entire incident was the culmination of a series of epic fuckups that were so grand in scale one cannot help but think it might have been deliberate. >they had already tested the pump rundown/backup sequence dozens of times and KNEW it wouldn't work >they deliberately ran the test during peak power consumption (they had ramped up because another plant was down) despite KNOWING the reactor was well over the MW output to run it. >multiple supervisors ignored safety protocols >the man running the test had complete authority over the plant >they waited waaaay too long to abort
Chase Diaz
thats just the negatives though so obviously it looks bad like that, there were good things too >unprecedented power generation, higher than any core in history >infirmary coped well despite unprecedented demand >boron was delivered in quantity and on time
Robert Wood
>disaster >were getting a reading of 3.6 roentgen max Disgraceful
Nathan Perry
It's a nuclear reactor, not a toy. You can't just fuck around with it and then press Reset button. He was hoping that commies could cover up everything as always and get away with, there was no shock or breakdown. I think in reality everyone in that control room was desperately trying to complete safety test and Dyatlov didn't have to push them at all.
Andrew Harris
his task was to test the reactor, not his fault the reactor didn't pass the test.
Thomas Hall
I'm an asshole because of my dead son, whose leukemia I caused because this wasn't the first time I played fast and loose with radiation. Empathize with me!
>he thought the AZ-5 would work Not an excuse. This is like pointing an unloaded gun at someone. You just don't do it because you never truly know if somehow even though you -know- you checked and double checked that if it were to go off the consequences would be unforgivable.
The same with the AZ-5. You -never- assume it will work and willfully create a situation where you will need to press it.
>you're telling me you've never cut a corner at work to get a job done, go home early or angle for a promotion? My job doesn't put millions of people at risk if I fuck up.
Charles Cook
It would not have melted down. It would have stopped the reactivity cold. Then they would have to do a really lengthy restart procedure.
Gabriel Lopez
He knew that Akimov or one of the others would press AZ-5 when it became necessary. He didn't press it himself because that's something you'd have to take responsibility for.
Dominic Stewart
He was just an asshole and that made him a convenient scapegoat for the commies since they wanted everyone to think big bad Dyatlov (who was also probably a kulak as well) blew up the powerplant because he hated Lenin and definitely not because the Soviet state approved reactor design was utter shit and had a huge flaw that they didn't even bother fixing even after it was discovered
Basically, he got railroaded instead of getting proper medical care and its far more likely the stress of being a work camp slave shortened his life span far more than the radiation he absorbed
Levi Nguyen
>He was hoping that commies could cover up everything as always and get away with, there was no shock or breakdown. lel. If he deliberately broke safety protocols, only thing commies would cover would be his dead body.
Camden Sanchez
>dude the miners were buttnaked one of the biggest inaccuracies of this shitshow
