Tragedy which shocked the world, permanently altered the region, and left many questions unanswered. Firefighters, engineers, military troops, police officers, miners, cleaners and medical personnel were all sent into the area immediately. Imagine entering the hell on earth to prevent radioactive material from spreading further into the environment. Many people will need your help, but remember, you are under the watchful eye of the government. Follow the orders or pay the consequence... But before that, relax. Let's go back in time. [b][i]Where Everything Began[/i][/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//35404032/392c922989d2ed56442bde4d2f9f046ca7a51a25.jpg[/img] [i]Source: wiki.czarnobyl[/i] The disaster took place during an experiment that was supposed to increase the safety of the power plant in an emergency. The unit control room center - in which most of the drama took place - is located between the main building of the reactor hall and the engine room. The main task was to control and supervise the operation of the entire power unit, especially the operation of the reactor and turbo-generators. [u]One minute test[/u] was to show how long after a possible failure, the power plant would be able to produce energy for its own operation.

The test was supposed to check their efficiency. It was originally supposed to be carried out during the day, but due to a failure of another power plant and increased demand, the authorities ordered the reactor shutdown delayed to compensate for decreased electricity production. The powerplant workers who came to work during the night shift were surprised by the situation and thus were not properly prepared to carry out the test. In addition because of the prolonged reactor operation on decreased power output, the stability of its operation has decreased due to extensive release of Xenon-135 (so-called 'xenon poisoning'). ▪ In such a situation, the reactor should have been shut down for at least 24 hours. ▪ This has not occurred.

Furthermore due do the mishandling of the reactor control by the night operators and disabling of all automatic emergency systems to facilitate the experiment the reactor became severely unstable. In a panic, the operators bashed the SCRAM system (so-called AZ-5 system in RBMK reactors). However, due to hidden construction flaws in the unit's control rods, the scram initiation has only accelerated the instability to an extreme level and in consequence, caused two explosions which have shaken the entire building launching the 2000 ton upper biological about 15 meters into the air. [b]It is still difficult to unequivocally answer the question of who is to blame for the Chernobyl disaster.[/b] Official Soviet sources have put almost entirety of the blame onto the shoulders of the night-shift team and general management staff of the powerplant. While the rest of the world has a more nuanced opinion on the matter, splitting the blame between the human error, faults in reactor design, and even USSR political system as a whole. ▪ Our ultimate goal is to create a realistic take on the disaster. An immersive, atmospheric, complex, open FPP experience filled to the brim with this elusive ‘Eastern European’ spirit. ▪ In-game you will visit the control room on at least 2 separate events. Which we have carefully arranged for you. One on which we'd like to present you in the movie below.
