It&#x27;s unconscionable for such a reactor design to have been made and put into service in the first place. The particular bungled test that caused the disaster was somewhat of an exceptional circumstance but the RBMK design was really just a ticking timebomb waiting to go off. If it wasn&#x27;t that test it would have been something else, maybe it wouldn&#x27;t have been as bad, but it would almost certainly have been at least Fukushima scale regardless.
