Yeah, legendary guy. Not technically an inventor but this guy had his share of fuck ups as well:

Still, he didn't get killed by it right away...

Slightly off topic - there is a dramatisation of the Chernobyl disaster that looks riveting: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7366338/

Watched each Episode twice already, episode 5 is only airing Sky next week over here!

I've watched it all now, and I think it's a great dramatic work, well worth seeing. I would also urge anyone who watches it to read some nonfiction around the event; there are a number of recent articles about the series that provide some factual context and corrections. Here is a good one: https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/what-hbos-cher...

It is on my watch later list: thank you for reinforcing it.
