You're welcome, I hope you enjoy them. If you're at all interested, the official government commission report on the Fukushima Daiichi accident is also a great read. You can download the executive summary for free if you Google it. It's pretty long, if you enjoy it then their book is worth getting.
Okay so I'll say this up front. Most of my information comes from my cousin, a nuke tech, and the following book.
The general concept of a nuclear power plant is you are using the energy and heat from a nuclear reaction to create steam to spin a turbine. That turbine has a north and south pole that when turned within a coil produce electricity.
When they are talking about the core they are talking about the chamber, cooling system, and reaction control system for that nuclear reaction. Chernobyl used graphite control rods to speed up or slow down the reaction as needed for energy production. US Plants use a different system that doesn't involve graphite as the control substrate if I remember correctly.
During this disaster however the control rods didn't insert fully to stop the reaction and the excess heat caused an explosion which blew the top of the reactor core through the roof.
The following is a pretty good illustration of what the reactor core was supposed to look like. The core itself is the red square and figure 24 is what went flying through the roof of the facility.
Anybody else with more or better information feel free to chime in because I'll admit I'm not an expert here, just a history nerd.
I rather enjoyed The Truth About Chernobyl by Grigori Medvedev, because it went into greater detail on the Soviet engineering philosophy that contributed to the event. Fire in the Rain: The Democratic Consequences of Chernobyl by Peter Gould was also interesting for the analysis of how various countries in western Europe reacted.
On a different topic, Idaho Falls: The Untold Story of America's First Nuclear Accident by William McKeown is a fascinating look at the SL-1 criticality event, a more obscure incident in the history of nuclear power.
I recommend “Chernobyl 01:23:40” by Andrew Leatherbarrow.

Really good read, it takes into consideration that not everyone is a Nuclear Physicist and puts a lot of it into layman’s terms.
EDIT: Pretty sure the author sometimes hangs around this subreddit.
The Dead Hand is pretty excellent.
https://www.amazon.com/Dead-Hand-Untold-Dangerous-Legacy/dp/0307387844
Frederick Pohl's fictional novel is certainly worth including, though being written so soon after the event it can only discuss what was known about it at the time which was hardly extensive.

Here you go!
I bought the kindle edition but it is available in paperback too :)
This is also available free on Amazon Prime video, for US customers at least.

isn't terribly long and a good resource
As of that hat, I believe in Russian it is called "lab hat" or "medical hat". It always has a white color so any dirt can be easily visible - it is something important in medicine.
​
Quick check shows me something like this https://www.amazon.com/GUOER-Womens-Scrub-Multiple-Color/dp/B0194ZJWG4 It is weird but amazon has any color you can imagine except white.
I highly recommend this book: https://www.amazon.com/Atomic-Times-H-Bomb-Pacific-Proving/dp/0345481542/ref=nodl_
The guy who made this imgur set also has a book called "Chernobyl 1:23:40," which I have and have read multiple times. It's a little rough on the grammar, but the story and information are solid and it expands on the imgur post.

I highly suggest reading some of the personal accounts made by people who were actually there that evening before you break out your tinfoil hat. You'll find that you're quite mistaken. Here are a few good primers:
