Chernobyl Presentation Script

The document is a presentation transcript about the Chernobyl nuclear disaster that occurred in 1986 in Pripyat, Ukraine. It summarizes that the fourth reactor at the Chernobyl power plant exploded due to engineering errors and human mistakes during a safety test. The presentation then outlines the group's plan to study the engineering and human failures that led to the disaster and how it could have been prevented. It provides a task list and responsibilities for each group member to complete the project in a coordinated manner.
