It cites [http://www.postchernobyl.kiev.ua/pamyati-tovarishha/], an apparent obituary of Baranov from 2005, not "weeks later". I don't speak Ukrainian and I can't be sure if this source is really accurate, but it gives me pause. We have a situation in which everybody is repeating everybody and they could all be wrong. [[User:Wnt|Wnt]] ([[User talk:Wnt|talk]]) 11:25, 3 May 2016 (UTC) :Oh my. Several documentaries, of which I will cite later, showed the divers checking into hospitals. They were so radio active, that everything they touched had to be destroyed. To put this in perspective, one of the guys on the roof kicked a piece of radioactive material ( much less than the divers were exposed to, ) and received on the order of 5,000uVs. 25 will make you sick, 50 will burn you, and 100 will give you an immediate sun tan... so any competent medical professional will tell you that when a dosimeter goes off the chart... you are going to have a real bad day, and will not see the night. This is the testimony of medical professionals: https://youtu.be/dS3WvKKSpKI?t=1431 == Upper / lower half of the core. == {{edit semi-protected|Chernobyl disaster|answered=yes}} <!-- Be sure to state UNAMBIGUOUSLY your suggested changes; editors who can edit the protected page need to know what to add or remove. Blank edit requests WILL be declined. --> <!-- Begin request --> "upper" in a sentence "As a result, the SCRAM actually increased the reaction rate in the upper half of the core as the tips displaced water." should be replaced by "lower". That sentence makes no sense, because graphite displaced water in the lower 1.25 m of the core as the rods moved down and caused a local increase of reactivity in the BOTTOM of the core. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RBMK#Control_rods <!-- End request --> [[User:Stepukas88|Stepukas88]] ([[User talk:Stepukas88|talk]]) 07:54, 6 May 2016 (UTC) :Errr, it is my understanding that the rods began to enter the vessel from the top bioshield and did not make it very far into the vessel before the first explosion jammed them. That comes primarily from my understanding of the reactor construction and from what is said about it in Medvedev's book. See [[RBMK]]. [[User:SkoreKeep|SkoreKeep]] ([[User talk:SkoreKeep|talk]]) 02:59, 8 May 2016 (UTC) Well, what I understand about reactor construction is that the control rods have a 4.5 m long graphite section at the end, separated by a 1.25 m long telescope (which creates a water-filled space between the graphite and the absorber). So, as control rod is fully retracted, the graphite displacer is located in the middle of the core height, with 1.25 m of water at each of its ends. As rods start descending, so does the graphite, displacing water (so, increasing reaction rate) in the lowest 1.25 m of the core. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RBMK#Control_rods. --[[User:Stepukas88|Stepukas88]] ([[User talk:Stepukas88|talk]]) 07:22, 9 May 2016 (UTC) Furthermore, the paragraph "A few seconds after the start of the SCRAM, the graphite rod tips entered the fuel pile. A massive power spike occurred, and the core overheated, causing some of the fuel rods to fracture, blocking the control rod columns and jamming the control rods at one-third insertion, with the graphite tips in the middle of the core. Within three seconds the reactor output rose above 530 MW." is misleading. SCRAM was started at 01:23:40, reactor output reached 530 MW thermal power at 01:23:43 (3 seconds after SCRAM, but not after control rods being jammed) and, finally, control rods jammed at 01:23:49 (according to INSAG-7), being half-way down (also INSAG-7; not one-third) and graphite displacers being somewhere at the bottom, but clearly not in the middle of the core. See INSAG-7 http://www-pub.iaea.org/MTCD/publications/PDF/Pub913e_web.pdf. --[[User:Stepukas88|Stepukas88]] ([[User talk:Stepukas88|talk]]) 10:15, 9 May 2016 (UTC) :OK, I'll withdraw my objections, as I don't know as much about the rods as I thought I did.

On receipt of a scram signal causing a fully withdrawn rod to fall, the displacement of water from the lower part of the channel as the rod moved downwards from its upper limit stop position '''caused a local insertion of positive reactivity in the lower part of the core'''.'' ::I'll make the changes.
