ya that's the creepy part, these guys know they're going to die and have a matter of hours before their bodies start reacting to the trauma so they can walk out of these facilities 'fine' and give interviews before dying to radiation poisoning

@Paultimate7 idk, I think putting a big pit in the ground instead of a door interlock was a very smart feature considering how easily western designed door seitchesfailed in every single irradiator incident, and the irradiator doesn't seem to have quite the same jamming issues the other systems have. the control panel was probably where this broke down because you had no real way to look at the problem

@CristiNeagu chernobyl was a planned bypass of safety systems without access to the technical and incidental knowledge of instability at low power levels in rbmks which having been known ahead of time would have prevented the test from going forward, probably. The Iowa turret explosion was the result of the same situation where someone planned a dangerous test and operators left to carry it out were ignorant of the dangers as well as poorly trained

@poiiop2626 its not even that far off from workers in the US, especially the older guys. I haven't seen it personally but every place I've worked in always has had that guy that jammed the interlocks to use the equipment faster and gets caught

I don't even understand why he didn't take the key with him, it didn't really save any time since he had to go around all these things

god damn if it were possible all staffing on nuclear or irradiation facilities should be larger than day shift because that's always when these accidents happen

Seems like they should have put a portcullis on the other side of the drawbridge
