- tailspin2019 5y agoThis is news to me too. I’m amazed. From your link: > After the explosion at reactor No. 4, the remaining three reactors at the power plant continued to operate, as the Soviet Union could not afford to shut the plant down. > …. In October 1991, reactor No. 2 caught fire, and was subsequently shut down. I always assumed it was totally abandoned after the accident, barring the cleanup work.
