It was also well known that the reactor was unsafe. It was a cash grab by a corrupt government, something that would never happen today.
Which is why I hate when Chernobyl is mentioned as an example of poor nuclear safety.

I'm afraid corrupt governments doing cash grabs are unfortunately still a thing nowadays.
