How could have the Bhopal disaster been prevented?

How could people prevented the Chernobyl disaster?

• Answer:

  Proper engineering in the first place Not insisting on bringing the reactor on line for political reasons before required safety tests had been finished Correctly following safety procedures (e.g. not disabling all safety systems before performing improvised test) Following only stable test procedures that are not so marked up that nobody knows what they say Postponing testing until crew that understood marked up procedure was back on duty Not trying to stabilize a xenon poisoned reactor, it should have been shut down as required by procedure Not removing more control rods than allowed by procedure In other words follow procedure!
