Steam explosion caused by power surge caused in part by design error in control rods. The accident was prompted by attempting to do a safety test using an improvised unapprovsed test procedure and disabling all safety systems so the test could be repeated if it failed the first try.
The full details are much more complex and require a book of about 250 pages to cover al the stupid irresponsible actions that lead up to the disaster.
