On the night of April 25-26, 1986, the operators at Chernobyl Unit 4 were not improvising. They were following procedures.

That is what makes this book necessary.

The Rules Were Clear presents the first English-language annotated translation of the RBMK-1000 reactor operating procedures and safety test protocols as they existed on the night of the disaster - not reconstructed from memory, not filtered through subsequent investigation, but drawn from the original Soviet technical documentation. Each section is paired with technical commentary explaining what the procedure required, what the operators understood it to require, and where that gap proved fatal.
