↑যদিও চাৰ্ন'বিল বিপৰ্যয়ৰ বহু প্ৰতিবেদনে গ্ৰেফাইটত জুই লগা বুলি কয়, এই কথাটোত সন্দেহ আছে। জেনেৰেল এট'মিক্ছ ৱেবছাইটৰ মতে:[3] "It is often incorrectly assumed that the combustion behavior of graphite is similar to that of charcoal and coal. Numerous tests and calculations have shown that it is virtually impossible to burn high-purity, nuclear-grade graphites." On Chernobyl, the same source states: "Graphite played little or no role in the progression or consequences of the accident. The red glow observed during the Chernobyl accident was the expected color of luminescence for graphite at 700°C and not a large-scale graphite fire, as some have incorrectly assumed." Similarly, nuclear physicist Yevgeny Velikhov,[4] noted some two weeks after the accident, "Until now the possibility of a catastrophe really did exist: A great quantity of fuel and graphite of the reactor was in an incandescent state." That is, all the nuclear-decay heat that was generated inside the uranium fuel (heat which would normally be extracted by back-up coolant pumps, in an undamaged reactor) was instead responsible for making the fuel itself and any graphite in contact with it, glow red-hot. This is contrary to the often cited interpretation, which is that the graphite was red-hot chiefly because it was chemically oxidizing with the air.
