Some disagreement among SO"iet authorities is evident, however. on: • The c.>;tcntto which the basic design flaws in the RBMK reactor that contributed to the destruction of Chcrnob~'I' unit 4 and damage to the adjoining unit 3 can be fj;.;cd." • The amount of work needed to rest arc reliable operation of Chernoby!' units I and 2 and prol'ide housing ;snd services to workers. • The feasibility of returning Chernobyl' unit) to operation nnd whether construction could bc resumed on Chernobyl' units 5 and 6 (a decision not to recover units 5 and 6 was apparently made in Marchi April 1987). • The funetion~ and authority of the sCI'eral organizations that deal with nuclear cnergy. lC For o ..
