I'm pretty sure the Chernobyl plant had 4 separate "blocks" each with one reactor and two turbo generators? No.4 was the one that exploded but the other three kept on producing power for years after.

You're totally correct. It was 4 reactor buildings feeding one turbine house, but the house contained two turbo generators. Thanks for the correction!
