Still, it's a crazy stroke of luck that it's this one that blew up, in the relatively backwater middle of nowhere, rather than, say, the one in St. Petersburg that was running on the same reactor, and was the oldest built.

The backwater got the lower quality engineers and staff, also Chernobyl nearly killed or displaced over 30M people, if the radiation leaked into the water table it would have made almost half of eastern europe uninhabitable only because of the sacrifice of the construction crews that built a gigantic new foundation underneath the reactors did it not cause this.
That particular reason is why nobody who knows the whole story is comfortable mixing inevitable human incompetence with nuclear energy.

If I'm not mistaken, it didn't even blow up from poor design, persay. They had to do a special "stress test" on the thing to see what it could withstand, and the techs were so fucking retarded that they didn't understand basic atomic reactor control 101 which states that if Xeon gas builds up, you'd better shut the mother fucker down or else it'll do exactly what it just did lol.

Yeah it was a combination of many factors, the reactors had a bug in them, and Chernobyl's specifically was very prone to exhibiting that behavior which was revealed during this exact test, or maybe because it all lined up perfectly to produce the explosive outcome, the main tech guys all went to sleep, and so on. It's true that you needed very experienced dudes with sound minds monitoring that shit at all times because the equipment was laggy and more often than not showed that everything was fine (for ideological reasons most likely). Plus the operational mode during the test wasn't clearly documented, so no one really knew what was going on in there.
Speaking of St. Petersburg, they came very close to disaster once in 1983 when the staff detected strange vibrations coming from the turbine generator. They stopped it just in time, having about 15 seconds in reserve. After the investigation, they realized that the quality was ass and clearly rushed (almost the entire ring weld cracked), similar to the incident at the Kola nuclear power plant in 1979, which was also due to poor quality control.
