An extreme case of water hammer. How much do you want to bet they spun the valve on the upstream side of the Penstock?
I know the wickets can tear one up, but the russian explaination of the wicket gage doesn't ring true.

my very first thought went back to this desaster:

Can remember?
Honestly, it's scaring to know that the Russians are erecting the nuclear power plant(s) in... wait... wasn't it IRAN?
