About
Chernobyl Simulator puts you in the control room of the most infamous nuclear power plant in history. Step into the shoes of a Chernobyl reactor operator, where every switch, gauge, and decision matters. Experience the pressure, responsibility, and unforgiving complexity of Soviet-era nuclear operations.
You will manage the systems of Reactor 4—core, thermal output, water flow, turbine load, safety mechanisms, and more—while navigating authentic procedures based on real historical documentation. As the situation escalates, you must react quickly and precisely. One wrong move can set off a chain reaction that spirals out of control.
Authentic Nuclear Power Plant Simulation
Operate detailed and realistic reactor systems modeled after the RBMK-1000 design. Understand how each subsystem interacts and how your actions affect the reactor.
Dynamic Scenarios & Emergencies
Start with routine operations, then face unexpected complications—from minor fluctuations to catastrophic failures.
Historical Atmosphere
Immerse yourself in the iconic 1980s Soviet industrial environment with carefully recreated interiors, equipment, and documentation.
Learn How a Nuclear Reactor Works
Master complex engineering systems through interactive tutorials, guided procedures, and hands-on experimentation.
Multiple Endings
Will you maintain stable output? Cause a near miss? Or witness the plant push past the point of no return?
Chernobyl Simulator offers a tense, educational, and deeply engaging look into one of the world's most significant technological disasters. Can you keep the reactor stable—or will history repeat itself?
This simulation aims to replicate the real nuclear power plant operations in high detail so it can put a lot of load on new players and it requires patience. There is an online wiki page describing reactor operation at wiki.rikarin.io.

Слушайте, ну даже сейчас, на ранних стадиях, данный симулятор реализован очень даже неплохо. Да, есть недочёты, как например безумно тёмный и в то же время блестящий ЦЗ, или скудное количество объяснений для тех, кто за пультом впервые. Да, FAQ на TAB'е даёт немного информации, но её столь мало, и она столь скудна, что приходится разбираться в управлении почти на ощупь. Но данным сараем "по кайфу" управлять нельзя, объяснения нужны. Почему, например, в задании "Достичь критичности" мы вынимаем стержни РР именно в определённом порядке и по одному, а не иначе. Или как правильно сбалансировать мощность по каналам АР так, чтобы они не улетали вверх, и вас не глушило УЗМ, или наоборот, вы не стояли прикованные ко дну. Также в тот же TAB можно добавить памятки о том как избежать тех или иных ошибок при наборе/сбросе мощности. Также следует чуть подтянуть оптимизацию: где-то после часа-двух дёрганья стержней, при изменении их положения комп начинает подвисать. Лечится выходом в меню и входом обратно в сессию. С кириллицей в названии сессии тоже беда. Резюмируя: симулятор получается неплохим, и определённо есть куда двигаться, и что делать.
игра топ но она в бете я жду турбины и гцн и добавление больше функций в виур игра топ но пока что денег своих не стоит я жду турбины и реле
私は原子力が好きです 原子炉は黒鉛減速軽水圧力管型原子炉が好きです
Very Nice
игрушка класс замечательная, хотелось бы большего что бы ты не один был и можно было сделать золотой коридор и окна из которых виднеется часть станции и остальные здания.
In it's current state, the simulation is broken, if you follow the tutorial step-by-step. Very soon the reaction will run out of bounds.(while increasing power in the "low range") When started the "running at full power" scenario and powering-down the reactor, there is no way to re-power it. This cannot be a Xenon-pit thing, since you can raise all (I mean ALL) rods, and the simulation doesn't care. That this should "work like a charme"( even with plenty of Xenon), proved us the CCCP in 1986 in all its glory. The documenation(wiki) is missing important parts, and the undocumented YT-video provided by the developer, does not help at all. So in it's current state, save your money and get the free RBMK-1500 simulator from github. Fair warning., communication wise, most stuff seems to be happening on Discord(TM) (allmost) only.
Theres a minor bug but im not sure if theres a fix, when going up the stairs in the adjacent room, on the second or third steps you get stuck. Jumping does not help. Otherwise this game is neat! needs more tho thats for sure.
optisch ganz gut aber zu schwer es müsste ein farnünftiges Tutorial geben. ich würde es er nicht änfelen
No button in the walls the explode reactor az-5. In the game cool
