Chernobyl blocks were build with many different safety automatic systems. In 1986, the habit of destructive atomic power was already well-known. But nearly all (exept two) of those systems were switched off manually - to complete the test. Two left systems worked properly, but they controlled an action which was commenced manually few seconds before - by the operator who realized what's happening. Anyway, it was too late.
Experts say, that if even one more automatic safety system was on - the disaster would not happen.

And what abou the aliens - it's nice to have some defence system against 'em. But sometimes I think that it is the Man who is the most agressive being in inhabited space
