The explosion exposed the reactor core, sparking
a massive graphite fire that burned for 10 days.
This released deadly amounts of radioactive
isotopes into the atmosphere, including Iodine-131,
Cesium-137, and Strontium-90.

During a late-night safety test, a sudden
and uncontrollable power surge occurred.
The reactor's unstable design combined with
human error caused a massive steam explosion
that blew the 1,200-ton steel lid clean off.
