Abstract

There is no understanding of all the reasons of the Chernobyl accident up to this day, that is why some fresh (sometimes exotic) versions appear. We propose here instead to unite those ones which are based on really observed and in some or other way recorded facts and circumstances aimed at clarifying the development of accident process at least during its last seconds. For this purpose we propose to consider in more details the succession of explosions processes with accents on principal differences of physical nature of each of them, beginning with the first one «steam» explosion up to «quasi-nuclear». In addition, to justify the given theoretical considerations exact examples of situations have been given we were met with before at the other objects.
