20+ years ago I wrote my senior thesis on the Soviet nuclear program including a fair bit on the RBMK.

On paper it had amazing bang for the buck both in terms of electricity generation and production of material for the SU's nuclear weapons program.

But was about as safe as an amateur wet dynamite juggling competition.
