1:06 am, The Test
The power station in chernobyl was being tested very soon the reason for the test was to check that in case there was an power outage that everything would still contiue to work and keep power going -
1:00 pm The problem
To do the test the workers had to change the energy supply of the power station to 37% but the authorities said that the power was too low and told then to put it at 50% -
12:28 am, A Biger Problem
When the workers tried to increase the level to 50% it fell all the way down to 1% this was a very big deal because they could not test on the power station if it was at 1% http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAhjSviYVr8 -
1:00 am, A Failed Soloution
With a problem this big the workers had to find a soloution and quick so they used a very dangerous solution they started removing these rods from the power station these rods helped control the power the fewer rods you had the less control you had over the power station http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCyMS7FKCZc -
1:20am, Slow Progress
So they decide to remove some rods from the power station but not too many just in case they had to stop the power station but nothing happened -
A Big Decition
Since taken out a few rods from the power station didnt work the workers had to talk to people above them to ask to take out more so it was aproved so they started taking out more till they saw a solution -
Result
So as they keeped removing rods they did not see any result untill they had all but 6 rods in the power station the power levels rised to just 7% this was still very far from what they needed to take the test -
1:22 am, The Test begins
After a while of waiting the workers thought the engine levels where at a corrects level and it was the right time to start test so they started the test -
1:40 am, A Disaster awates
The test seemed to have aftcted the power station in a harmfull way the power station to boill above what it was meant to the workers tried to stop it but they had pulled out to many rods so it wouldnt be possible to stop it -
The Disaster
after the power station how began to boil to high it became 120x the power it was meant to it was devistating there was a huge explosion -
Life Changing
from this day onward the lifes of the people of chernobyl have never been the same th power station blew up so there was alot of toxic gases in the air this caused mutation and till present day still causes mutation that are life changing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvAJ_u3Q0Hw
