Looks cool, but nothing like one of the generators at Chernobyl...

Why is there a road running through a door? 9/10 btw.
Leads to another road.

I don't know how the inside of Chernobyl looks very well, sorry.



Reactor (Reactor 1 to be specific, they all looked the same though)



Reactor Control Room



Reactor 4 cross section model after explosion.


Rather interesting build you have, and its gotten me back to working on my own Chernobyl build. Mines just a replica of the power plant. Right now im working on the non destroyed plant, but hopefully I will be able to do more. I also wanted to use mine for a Zombies build, but it would be way to laggy considering its already 100k bricks with just reactor 3 & 4 and half of the turbine hall.



Ive spent like 3 years now researching the hell out of Chernobyl. Something about it and nuclear energy fascinates me beyond belief. If you want to know anything about the plant or want some resources for the layout, I will be happy to upload them.

That's very nice of you. c:

No problem, I love informing people about the chernobyl disaster. The stories told about it are some of the most beautiful and saddening ive heard. Also, I know many people have told you already that the nuclear reactor does not look like that, and some have even uploaded images. Let me add a few more for reference:



This is the layout of the plant. Its labeled rather well, but is still very confusing for those that do not know the plant well. If you can find aerial views of the plant today, you should be able to understand it rather well.



This is what the Chernobyl reactor looked like. Its design is called the RBMK 1000 reactor, used across the Soviet Union. Its design flaws partly lead to the accident.

The importance of this picture is the area labeled 8. That area is where you would see the reactor if it were still alive. However, you are making a destroyed version of the reactor. Basically, there is nothing left or even marks of a reactor vessel. This is what it looks like now:



Top down view of the reactor from the outside, since its roof was entirely destroyed.



Probably one of the nicest photos of the destruction. The sarcophagus, or containment, was just being started at the time of that picture. Thats why there are cranes. I know you are doing interiors, but the outside pictures are much more common and make it easier to know what the inside looks like.




And to just add one more critical piece of the plant, here are the labeled areas:



I would recommend making an area for the turbine hall. Some pictures on this site:

The build was mainly focused on what we thought of the look.
I'm not sure if we should change the name or something.

I wouldnt, most people dont know the correct design anyways. I would however add areas based upon it, like the turbine hall for example.

Yeah I agree.

I like it, minus the bloodstains.

Only issue with it is how crisp and clean those prints are on the wall, you should look into editing it to make it looked weathered

Didn't realize that.
I'll remake the prints.

I don't know if this has been talked about here, but I would recommend the abandoned city of Pripyat next to Chernobyl for a build. Quite a creepy place.
