Anatoly Dyatlov

Anatoly Stepanovich Dyatlov ( _ru. Анатолий Степанович Дятлов; March 3, 1931December 13, 1995) was the vice chief engineer of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, and the supervisor of the fatal experiment which resulted in the Chernobyl disaster.Dyatlov was born in 1931 in Krasnoyarsky Kray, Russia (then Soviet Union). In 1959 he graduated from the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute. After graduation he worked in a shipbuilding plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, installing reactors into submarines. In 1973 he moved to Prypiat, Ukraine to work at the newly constructed Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant.

On April 26, 1986, Dyatlov supervised a test at Reactor 4 of the nuclear plant, which resulted in the worst nuclear plant accident in history. In 1987 he was found guilty "for criminal mismanagement of potentially explosive enterprises" and was sentenced to ten years in prison. He was released in five years. He wrote a book in which he claimed that poor plant design, not plant personnel, was primarily responsible for the accident. Dyatlov died of heart failure in 1995, largely dueFact|date=June 2008 to radioactive exposure of 390 REM he was subject to during the accident.
