It is unbelievable. If the engineers actually had a choice to put all relevant data for the operator's. The reactor would not have exploded. Also, if the project wasn't rushed to produce power by the government officials. The plant would not have used short cuts to keep a deadline. There are so many errors.

I once worked in a place that was working with weak radioactive Isotopes (Pharmacy industry) and I remember a very similar kind of "checkout" thing you had to go through each time you wanted to leave certain building otherwise your card wouldnt let you through. Basically it just measured if you had any radioactive residue on your feet or hands after working and even though it was more modern, it is amazing to see that pretty much the same design was used back then

it's actually how westerners first realized there had been a nuclear accident. 2 days after the explosion (April 28) workers coming in to Forsmark nuclear power plant in Sweden to start their shift set off the radiation alarms from their shoes, so they knew it was coming from outside. Swedish officials basically called every country, "did you have an accident?" which was how the Kremlin realized they couldn't cover it up. crazy stuff!!!

[@soylentgreenb]

You need to refuel 10 times as often at 10 times the power. Oxide fuel has pretty poor heat transfer; there is no cooling you can apply to the outside of the fuel pellet that will keep its center from melting if you make enough power, so the fuel has to be in some different form or the power has to be pulsed as in e.g a TRIGA research reactor.

Я наверное везде спамлю, но я не пойму почему лжефильмы так вирусятся? Я как человек который изучает историю - был шокирован ложью фильма. Что там чёрт возьми происходило? Почему везде давали и пили водку? Тогда действовал сухой закон. И с почему бы это армии завозить ящики вдки? Что за стериотип? Минералку могли. Почему шахтёры были голыми? Они по пояс были голыми, а не полностью. Слова свидетелей и кинохроника в помощ. Ульяна - вообще выдуманный персонаж. Это как там вообще было? Целый арсенал учёных и инженерев в плотную не видят редиационную опасность, а Ульяна (выдуманный персонаж) смогла одна в тысячах киллометрах узнать что произошло по пыли на стекле. Что за бред? Вертолёт разбился по ошибке пилота, а не радиации. Академика никто из вертолёта за не подчинение выбрасывать не собирался - что за чушь, кто это придумал? Почему шахтёров хотели расстрелять? С какой кстати? Их по военной повестке вызывали. Всё снято в сепых тонах, даже мирное время. Стены обшарпаны как в 90-х. Я могу сказать одно - весь этот фильм - идеологическая политическая пропаганда. А трагедию никто так скрывать не пытался. Подготовка к эвакуации началась на утро 26-го числа, а всем предприятиям связанными с ядерной энергетикой - было передано сообщение о аварии на ЧАЭС. Личный опыт родных: Мой дядя был военным врачём в военно воздушных силах. Он забирал был врачём на борту самолёта забиравшего ликвидаторов в Москву. Никаких КГБ за каждым углом не было, никто ни за кем не следил. Моя мама была в Киеве на момент взрыва ЧАЭС. Узнала об этом 30-го числа когда стояла за билетами домой в Волгоград. Неделю не могла улететь, лудей много было. Когда улетела, видела как некоторые люди стоя в самолёте летели.
