Hi, (Like railway signals, that will go on 'stop' if something breaks or if power fails and not like the Tsjernobil nuclear plant that needed electric power to lower the control rods into the reactor to stop the runaway nuclear reaction, that electric power was not available because of some other malfunction.) there was some manual shutdown procedure in the tchernobyl powerplant, but the problem with those "east" power plants is that they place the control rods on top of the reaction rods instead putting them up from below them, this way in a failure case gravity works against you which is not good. tchernobyl was just shut down too late. bye simon
