The Chernobyl accident was triggered by a flawed reactor design and a series of operator errors during a safety test on April 26, 1986. Operators attempted to conduct an experiment to determine how long the turbines would spin and generate power after a shutdown. However, due to improper procedures and a lack of understanding of the reactor's behavior at low power, a sudden power surge occurred, leading to an explosion and the release of a significant amount of radioactive material into the atmosphere.
