There have been comparisons to Cherynobel — was Cherynobel just one nuclear reactor or as many as 4 as located here? Or do you know>

Looks like 4, they used a graphite reactor tho, cooling system was nothing like here, no containment vessel.. they were testing an emergency cooling backup procedure when things went kabloooie..

Chernobyl had 4 reactors. Reactor 4 was the one the one that melted down. They continued to operate the other three reactors until the late 90’s.
