The Ukraine, site of the Chernobyl disaster, was part of the Soviet Union when the accident happened. Fifteen republics formed the Soviet Union, including Russia, Belarus, and Moldova.
For the test, workers slowed down the nuclear reactions by inserting control rods to absorb neutrons. But when the reactions slowed too much, workers began to remove the control rods. The reaction quickly spun out of control. When workers tried to reinsert the control rods, they bent and the reaction raged on.
What made it worse: the workers had shut down the backup cooling system for the test.
