Crimes Against Electricity
Episode 1: The Chernobyl Incident
April 26, 1986.
A routine safety test at Reactor Number Four of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant ends in catastrophe. Within seconds, a reactor is destroyed, a city is doomed to evacuation, and radioactive contamination begins spreading across Europe.
For decades, investigators, engineers, and historians have debated a simple question: what really caused the explosion?
Was it operator error? A flawed reactor design? A failure of management? Or something more complex?
In the first episode of Crimes Against Electricity, we reopen the case file of the world’s most infamous nuclear accident, examine the evidence, and explore how the lessons learned from Chernobyl continue to shape modern nuclear power today.
This is the story of the night Reactor Number Four died.
