The explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant was caused by a combination of flawed reactor design, operator error during a safety test, and a lack of safety culture. The reactor's power surged uncontrollably, leading to a steam explosion and subsequent fire that released a large amount of radioactive material into the environment.
