The staff decide all … But what and how?

Alas, that is especially important, not only NPPs are hazardous, but also, those people which serve them in incomparably greater degree. Therefore, for example, atomic lobbyists strenuously repeat, that Chernobyl is extreme and extremely improbable accident that is impossible to start with it at assessments of atomic energy. It is difficult to agree, in fact Chernobyl accident not so much technogenic, but more man-made.

Now it is well known, that the causes of group of catastrophes, including Chernobyl, there were also design deficiencies of reactors, their guidance systems and protection, and maintenance errors. In the book of the famous biologist and ecologist A.V.Yablokov “Atomic mythology” [6] cited the data that even in the USA and France “the human factor” was the cause, accordingly, 80 and 86 percents of all emergencies on NPP. And what to speak about us? We in fact were “more capable” than these western experts, in fact any the most refined and reduplicated many times safety systems are not capable to stop us. We with our system of submissions, views and values shall overcome all. In fact and the Chernobyl reactor not itself has blown up, it has blown up by common efforts. It is necessary to tell, that during the Chernobyl accident the staff of plant has proved himself not from the best part. Many claims are presented to them. And one of the main – is that their qualification was far from being the highest.

The official version for IAEA [62]: the first cause “was the extremely improbable combination of decompositions and an operative conditions, allowed by staff of the generating set”. In this assessment it was necessary to improve and more particularly to express a main idea: “… deliberate breach of order, instructions and an operative conditions…” It is no secret, that at preparation and realization of notorious and senseless experiment on the fourth unit of the plant all conceivable and inconceivable rules and instructions have been infringed. There is certainly no sense to hide the defects available at RBMK reactor. But, knowing about these defects, it is necessary to not give them to prove by competent operation. In Chernobyl all happened “quite the contrary”.

“Irrespective of the first cause triggering actions of emergency protection, it should supply “fast suppression of chain reaction”, - is spoken in a solution of scientific and engineering council of Gosatomenergonadzor of the USSR. However, on April 26, 1986 the emergency protection started by staff called even more power rise of the reactor and the further catastrophic development of events. Really, technically unreasonable design of scram rod (and regulating too) and their drives (very sluggish) have given to that switching on by staff at the final stage of development of emergency process of the switched - off before system of emergency protection was that “the last straw” which “has exasperated” the reactor. However, how it could happen that before it the staff already had time to put the reactor and all its regulating and emergency response systems into condition that even in dreadful dream developers of a reactor could not imagine? Reactor as pilots speak, at first have entered into a spin, and then could not remove from it. Yes, a reactor, to put it mildly, not so safe. As well as all other power producers in the world. Especially, so careless operation of such reactor appears completely impermissible. If you are not able to remove from “spin», it is not necessary to enter into it. And in itself the fact, that such operation of so hazardous object has appeared possible, already gives the grounding to approve, that the atomic energy in hand of the person can “work wonders”. Chernobyl accident has become one of such “miracles” also. And it is very doubtful, that all possible “miracles” have been reached by Chernobyl accident. So that, we shall wait for following “miracles” of atomic energy? And can better get rid of such source of “miracles” once and for all? It seems to us, that the second alternative is better!

The question of qualification of the experts servicing NPP, certainly, is extremely important for any “nuclear” country. But in our countries making in past Soviet Union, much more interesting problems are possible also. How can we speak about qualification even if it is not always apparent that you concern the expert of required profile? So, “meticulous” journalists from Ukraine have found the underlying cause of “terrible secret” [63]: has appeared, that ten workers of the Rovno NPP worked on responsible engineering - executive positions from the shift man of the unit up to the senior operator of reactor branch had “false diplomas”. And in fact it just that grade of workers of NPP on whom in a decisive degree the safety of plant depends. It appears, in what “safety” hands there can be our destiny and life!

And in fact Rovno NPP is only in 60 kilometres from Belarus border. It is necessary to remind, that the trace of contamination with very high density was stretched on territory of Belarus from the blasted Chernobyl reactor on more than two hundred kilometres.

But on Chernobyl NPP has thundered explosion. A lot of water has flowed away since then. Something, apparently, have understood. Time and to learn lessons.

And how about to shoot oneself in the foot that we as the minimum should do twice? We are obstinate people and do not retreat from “positions of principle”. An example to this. At once after accident, the staff of Chernobyl NPP has been exported and settled in other cities of Ukraine. Kiev has to the most qualified part of staff. Everyone has been provided with good apartments. On work, that is on liquidation of consequences of accident they came in shift teams. The new city Slavutich for workers of Chernobyl NPP simultaneously was under construction. One behind one, the first, the second and the third units of the plant were restoring to life. In 1988, there was a question of resettlement of the evacuated before staff in this city. With the majority problems has not arisen. But with those who already considered themselves as Kievers and they were the most skilled technicians of Chernobyl NPP there were complexities: them did not want to leave already rendered habitable places of charming city. Top managers, certainly, pranced: so, we shall carry out you from your job! And, how you think, experts have solved this problem? Correctly! They have told: “Dismiss, but we shall not leave Kiev”. Them also have dismissed. They very quickly hired new technicians from different NPPs. Do you think, that the most valuable experts have rushed to Chernobyl? Again, you are right. Have collected those whom the God has granted. But as the God not so big expert in nuclear technology, He has granted, that fall into hands. And “there was” new collective of Chernobyl NPP. And to this collective everything is equal to task. Whether is it the reason of series of accidents already after that well known? So gradually the Chernobyl NPP also “died”.
