This image shows the interior of a control room at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, located near Pryp'yat', Ukraine. The room is devoid of personnel and appears to be in a disused state. Curved, grey-painted control consoles dominate the foreground and midground, spanning the width of the room. These consoles are densely packed with black push-buttons, switches, rotary dials, gauges, and indicator lights. A prominent feature on the mid-right console is a hexagonal grid of multi-colored buttons, typically used for reactor control rod operation in RBMK reactors. On the foreground left console, a white push-button telephone with a coiled black cord is visible, alongside a panel featuring numerous small black and red buttons. Sections of the consoles incorporate flat, light-wood-toned surfaces. The background features a large, curved wall covered entirely with an extensive system of operational displays. Centrally on this wall is a prominent circular grid composed of hundreds of small square indicator lights, predominantly yellow and green, representing the reactor core's operational status. Surrounding this central display are various rectangular panels containing additional gauges, meters, and smaller screen displays. The ceiling is a grid of white acoustic tiles with integrated lighting fixtures. The floor is covered in a mosaic pattern of irregularly shaped, light-toned stone or ceramic tiles. No actions or interactions are occurring in the scene.
