Chernobyl happened during an event of staggering operational malfeasance. The design was 30 years out date when built and know the world over to be dangerous. It was particularly know to be dangerous in low power situations. The brain dead party appointees installed a lever to put the reactor into a know worst case possible state artificially for the “test”. They build a water holding tank under the reactor ensuring a steam explosion in a meltdown and didn’t build a containment building. They were also forbidden by the state from sharing accident information with other plants, which could have prevented the incident. The whole thing was an engineered tragedy. To called the act of depraved hubris a “test” seems incorrect to me.
