IN THREE SECONDS, CHERNOBYL UNLEASHED DECADES OF ENERGY ☢️💥 April 26, 1986. 1:23 AM. Three seconds changed nuclear history forever. The Numbers: • Normal operation: 3,200 MW • Peak surge: ~30,000 MW (10x normal) • Energy released: 225 tons of TNT • Time to disaster: 3 seconds What Happened: During a safety test, operators disabled systems and removed too many control rods. A fatal RBMK reactor flaw—positive void coefficient—caused runaway power surge. Result: Fuel hit 2,000°C, massive steam exp
