Youth have learned nothing; those schools nowadays are useless!
It was the reactor itself that exploded. The Turbine Hall just happened to be right next to it, and it took the full brunt too: fire, debris, dust, and radiation, of course.
The place was enormous — over four hundred meters long. Two turbines per unit, five hundred megawatts each. When they were running, there was no point in shouting because no one would have heard you.
The floor shook, the pipes hummed, and cranes crawled overhead. A real electricity factory.
By the way, it was the turbogenerator that the night test was planned for. They wanted to check whether its residual rotation would be enough to keep the pumps running without external power. Well, you know the rest…
After the explosion, the roof caught fire. And everything inside — oil, cables, and generators — began to burn. Personnel shut off the oil lines, switched the generators over to nitrogen, and put out whatever could still be put out.
Now it's quiet there. The turbines stand still, the paint is peeling, and light breaks through the roof.
So don't make noise in there. The echo travels a long way on its own, without your help.
