The fire began in Reactor number 2's Turbine 4 (ТГ-4 in Russian) when the turbine was being idled for repairs. A faulty switch caused a surge of current to the turbine, igniting insulating material on some electrical wiring.[14] This subsequently led to hydrogen, used as a turbine coolant, being leaked into the turbine hall "which apparently created the conditions for fire to start in the roof and for one of the trusses supporting the roof to collapse."[15]
Led to HYDROGEN being used as a coolant?!?!

What the fucking fuck?
