rereached temperatures as high as 2,800o F a massive amount of radioactive dust was let out into the air which was picked by winds and carried thousands of miles into every direction. As well, previous to the testing the technicians, drew up plans, but did not discuss them with physicists or nuclear safety staff at the plant. Though they send experiment plans to the designers of the plant, the designers never got a chance to take a look and never issued any authority or made any confirmation. All soviet officials were certain that theexplosion occurred not because of the plant, but because of humannegligence. "The engineer who designed the plant and it's safety systems did not include such a scenario in his project" said Valeri Legasov, fist deputy director of the Kurchatov Atomic Institute. During an interview with Legasov, he stated that many discussions about the test have been going on and not everyone agreed to the test ever being conducted. However not everyone was satisfied with the ignorant technicians theory and researchers proposed an additional theory. Unlike Chernobyl the power plants in the rest of the world have a contaminant structure which is a huge reinforced concrete domedesigned to prevent radioactive materials from escaping during anaccident. Like one West German nuclear scientist Rudolf Schulten said "The reactor itself is a very old-fashioned type, and the safety philosophy of this reactor would never be accepted today by any country in the Western World." A U.S official agrees and sais that "Has it been designed as reactors in the U.S and the rest of the world the reactor would not have been destroyed. 6 When the reactor exploded and the core began to burn Soviet officials tried as hard as they could to put out the fire. It took them twelve long days to finally put out the deviating fire. Unlike in any other explosion where the radioactive materials would remain buried in the ground the Chernobyl graphite ...
