Chernobyl Control Room 4 BEFORE and AFTER the DISASTER
This brief video is among the few surviving pieces of footage showcasing the Chernobyl Reactor 4 Control Room before the catastrophic event. I restored it, removing distortions and correcting the colors, and also made a visual comparison with its present look as I recorded in early 2022.
As the newest unit, commissioned in 1983, Chernobyl Unit 4 has the least visual documentation available. While lower-quality versions of this footage did make a few appearances in news reports in 1986, it is highly likely that it captures pre-launch operations from 1983. There are unmistakable signs, including an abnormally high number of people in the control room, the presence of devices that shouldn't be there, and the display of test sequences on various panels. Additionally, specific pieces of equipment that should be present are absent (notice the empty space for a meter on the SAOR panel behind the female and male engineers).
You can see all the panels on their places, including mnemonic displays, meters and even the well-known AZ-5 button.
