(tape recorder clicks off)
7
00:00:38,517 --> 00:00:42,058
Man (recorded voice):
What is the cost of lies?
8
00:00:42,142 --> 00:00:45,017
It's not that we'll mistake
them for the truth.
9
00:00:45,100 --> 00:00:48,975
The real danger is that
if we hear enough lies,
10
00:00:49,058 --> 00:00:52,100
then we no longer
recognize the truth at all.
11
00:00:53,601 --> 00:00:55,267
What can we do then?
12
00:00:55,350 --> 00:00:58,017
What else is left
but to abandon even
the hope of truth
13
00:00:58,100 --> 00:01:02,684
and content
ourselves instead
with stories?
14
00:01:02,767 --> 00:01:06,892
In these stories,
it doesn't matter
who the heroes are.
15
00:01:06,975 --> 00:01:10,517
All we want to know is:
who is to blame?
16
00:01:10,601 --> 00:01:13,183
In this story,
it was Anatoly Dyatlov.
17
00:01:13,267 --> 00:01:14,975
He was the best choice.
18
00:01:15,058 --> 00:01:17,058
An arrogant, unpleasant man,
19
00:01:17,142 --> 00:01:20,350
he ran the room that night,
he gave the orders...
20
00:01:20,434 --> 00:01:22,350
and no friends.
21
00:01:22,434 --> 00:01:26,100
Or, at least,
not important ones.
22
00:01:27,559 --> 00:01:31,434
And now Dyatlov will spend
the next ten years
23
00:01:31,517 --> 00:01:33,559
in a prison labor camp.
24
00:01:33,642 --> 00:01:37,017
Of course, that sentence
is doubly unfair.
25
00:01:38,475 --> 00:01:42,183
There were far greater
criminals than him at work.
26
00:01:43,975 --> 00:01:46,892
And as for what Dyatlov did do,
27
00:01:46,975 --> 00:01:49,350
the man doesn't deserve prison.
28
00:01:50,517 --> 00:01:53,350
He deserves death.
29
00:01:54,809 --> 00:01:56,142
(recorder clicks)
30
00:01:56,225 --> 00:01:57,684
(clears throat)
31
00:02:06,183 --> 00:02:11,100
But instead, ten years
for "criminal mismanagement."
32
00:02:11,183 --> 00:02:13,183
What does that mean?
33
00:02:13,267 --> 00:02:17,017
No one knows.
It doesn't matter.
34
00:02:19,142 --> 00:02:22,684
What does matter
is that, to them,
35
00:02:22,767 --> 00:02:24,975
justice was done.
36
00:02:25,058 --> 00:02:28,642
Because, you see, to them
37
00:02:28,726 --> 00:02:32,434
a just world is a sane world.
38
00:02:34,892 --> 00:02:37,892
There was nothing sane
about Chernobyl.

00:29:06,183 --> 00:29:08,892
But in the reactor building,
I'm being told
354
00:29:08,975 --> 00:29:11,017
3.6 roentgen per hour.
355
00:29:11,100 --> 00:29:13,267
Well, that's not great,
but it's not horrifying.
356
00:29:13,350 --> 00:29:14,933
Not at all.
357
00:29:15,017 --> 00:29:18,058
-From the feedwater,
I assume?
-Mm-hmm.
358
00:29:18,142 --> 00:29:20,434
We'll have
to limit shifts
359
00:29:20,517 --> 00:29:22,601
to six hours at a time,
but otherwise...
360
00:29:22,684 --> 00:29:25,267
The dosimetrists
should be checking regularly.
361
00:29:26,142 --> 00:29:30,058
Have them use
the good meter from the safe.
362
00:29:31,142 --> 00:29:34,309
Right.
I'll call Maryin.
363
00:29:35,267 --> 00:29:37,517
Have them wake up the local
executive committee.
364
00:29:37,601 --> 00:29:39,767
There'll be orders
coming down.

00:29:52,684 --> 00:29:55,350

-Oh...

00:29:56,017 --> 00:29:59,392

you can't walk right up

I apologize for
the lateness of the hour.

Rest assured, we are all
very safe down here.
443
00:38:11,517 --> 00:38:14,183
We built this shelter
to withstand a nuclear attack
444
00:38:14,267 --> 00:38:17,559
by the Americans,
so I think we'll be fine.
445
00:38:19,267 --> 00:38:21,601
As you can see, we have
experienced an accident.
446
00:38:21,684 --> 00:38:24,267
A large control tank
malfunctioned,
447
00:38:24,350 --> 00:38:28,225
damaging reactor Building 4
and starting a fire.
448
00:38:28,309 --> 00:38:31,975
Now, I have spoken directly
to Deputy Secretary Maryin.
449
00:38:32,058 --> 00:38:34,309
Maryin spoke
to Deputy Chief Frolyshev,
450
00:38:34,392 --> 00:38:37,601
Frolyshev to Central Committee
member Dolgikh,
451
00:38:37,684 --> 00:38:40,975
and Dolgikh to
General Secretary Gorbachev.
452
00:38:41,058 --> 00:38:42,892
Now...
453
00:38:42,975 --> 00:38:48,225
Because the Central Committee
has the greatest respect
454
00:38:48,309 --> 00:38:52,267
for the work of the Pripyat
Executive Committee,
455
00:38:52,350 --> 00:38:56,350
they have asked me to brief you
on matters as they stand, so...
456
00:38:57,892 --> 00:39:01,642
First, the accident...
(stammers) is well
under control.
457
00:39:01,726 --> 00:39:06,975
And second, because the efforts
of the Soviet nuclear industry
458
00:39:07,058 --> 00:39:10,767
are considered key state
secrets, it is important
459
00:39:10,851 --> 00:39:14,183
that we ensure
that this incident
460
00:39:14,267 --> 00:39:16,350
has no adverse consequences.
461
00:39:16,434 --> 00:39:20,559
Now, to prevent a panic,
the Central Committee
have ordered
462
00:39:20,642 --> 00:39:23,517
a detachment of military
police to Pripyat.
463
00:39:23,601 --> 00:39:25,434
How large of a detachment?
464
00:39:26,851 --> 00:39:28,892
Between two
and four thousand men.
465
00:39:28,975 --> 00:39:31,017
(murmuring)
466
00:39:31,100 --> 00:39:34,933
What's really going on here?
How dangerous is this?
467
00:39:35,017 --> 00:39:39,017
There's mild radiation,
but it's limited
to the plant itself.
468
00:39:39,100 --> 00:39:42,183
-Petrov: No, it isn't.
-Excuse me?
469
00:39:42,267 --> 00:39:46,183
You saw men outside vomiting.
470
00:39:46,267 --> 00:39:48,100
You saw men with burns.
471
00:39:49,183 --> 00:39:51,559
There's more radiation
than they're saying.
472
00:39:51,642 --> 00:39:53,933
We have wives here,
we have children.
473
00:39:54,017 --> 00:39:56,726
I say we evacuate the town.
474
00:39:56,809 --> 00:39:58,559
Bryukhanov:
Gentlemen--
475
00:39:58,642 --> 00:40:02,851
Please, please.
My wife is here.
476
00:40:02,933 --> 00:40:04,975
Do you think I would
keep her in Pripyat
477
00:40:05,058 --> 00:40:06,392
if it wasn't safe?
478
00:40:06,475 --> 00:40:10,100
Bryukhanov, the air is glowing.
479
00:40:10,183 --> 00:40:13,225
The Cherenkov effect.
Completely normal phenomenon.
480
00:40:13,309 --> 00:40:15,183
It can happen
with minimal radiation.
481
00:40:15,267 --> 00:40:19,726
-(murmuring)
-(loud tapping)
482
00:40:19,809 --> 00:40:21,975
(murmuring stops)
483
00:40:25,601 --> 00:40:29,642
I wonder how many of you
know the name of this place.
484
00:40:31,809 --> 00:40:35,392
We all call it
"Chernobyl," of course.
485
00:40:35,475 --> 00:40:37,809
What is its real name?
486
00:40:39,267 --> 00:40:42,726
The Vladimir I. Lenin
Nuclear Power Station.
487
00:40:42,809 --> 00:40:44,851
Exactly.
488
00:40:46,975 --> 00:40:50,851
Vladimir I. Lenin.
489
00:40:57,975 --> 00:41:01,684
And how proud he would be
of you all tonight.
490
00:41:02,726 --> 00:41:05,017

491
00:41:06,017 --> 00:41:08,892
and the passion you have
for the people.
492
00:41:09,684 --> 00:41:13,892
For is that not the sole purpose
of the apparatus of the State?
493
00:41:15,559 --> 00:41:17,642
Sometimes, we forget.
494
00:41:18,851 --> 00:41:21,517
Sometimes, we fall prey to fear.
495
00:41:23,392 --> 00:41:27,183
But our faith in
Soviet socialism
496
00:41:27,267 --> 00:41:30,183
will always be rewarded.
497
00:41:32,350 --> 00:41:36,601
Now, the State tells us
the situation here is
not dangerous.
498
00:41:36,684 --> 00:41:39,225
Have faith, comrades.
499
00:41:40,851 --> 00:41:44,309
The State tells us
it wants to prevent a panic.
500
00:41:44,392 --> 00:41:46,601
Listen well.
501
00:41:49,058 --> 00:41:53,267
It's true, when the people see
the police, they will be afraid.
502
00:41:54,601 --> 00:41:56,726
But it is my experience
503
00:41:57,892 --> 00:41:59,975
that when the people
ask questions
504
00:42:00,058 --> 00:42:03,350
that are not in their
own best interest,
505
00:42:03,434 --> 00:42:05,350
they should simply be told
506
00:42:05,434 --> 00:42:07,601
to keep their minds
on their labor
507
00:42:08,601 --> 00:42:13,475
and leave matters
of the State to the State.
508
00:42:15,142 --> 00:42:17,225
We seal off the city.
509
00:42:18,392 --> 00:42:20,058
No one leaves.
510
00:42:20,767 --> 00:42:22,892
And cut the phone lines.
511
00:42:22,975 --> 00:42:25,767
Contain the spread
of misinformation.
512
00:42:28,434 --> 00:42:31,225
That is how we keep the people
513
00:42:31,309 --> 00:42:34,475
from undermining the fruits
of their own labor.
514
00:42:37,517 --> 00:42:39,309
Yes, comrades...
515
00:42:40,601 --> 00:42:44,642
we will all be rewarded
for what we do here tonight.
516
00:42:46,975 --> 00:42:51,475
This is our moment to shine.

I sent my dosimetrists
into the reactor building.
523
00:43:45,517 --> 00:43:46,975
The large dosimeter
from the safe,
524
00:43:47,058 --> 00:43:48,892
the one with
the 1,000-roentgen capacity--
525
00:43:48,975 --> 00:43:50,309
What was the number?
526
00:43:53,559 --> 00:43:54,767
There was none.
527
00:43:54,851 --> 00:43:57,726
The meter burned out
the second it was turned on.
528
00:43:58,559 --> 00:44:00,434
-It's typical.
-See? This is
what Moscow does.
529
00:44:00,517 --> 00:44:03,642
Sends us shit equipment, then
wonders why things go wrong.
530
00:44:03,726 --> 00:44:05,933
We found another dosimeter
531
00:44:06,017 --> 00:44:07,975
from the military
fire department.
532
00:44:08,058 --> 00:44:11,017
It only goes
to 200 roentgen, but it's
better than the small ones.
533
00:44:11,100 --> 00:44:12,225
And?
534
00:44:13,475 --> 00:44:15,350
It maxed out.
535
00:44:15,434 --> 00:44:17,017
Two hundred roentgen.
536
00:44:19,517 --> 00:44:21,601
What game are you playing?
537
00:44:21,684 --> 00:44:23,100
No, I--I--
538
00:44:23,183 --> 00:44:26,809
I asked him, he took
multiple measurements,
he's my best man.
539
00:44:26,892 --> 00:44:29,559
It's another faulty meter.
You're wasting our time.
540
00:44:29,642 --> 00:44:31,392
I checked the meter
against the control.
541
00:44:31,475 --> 00:44:33,726
What's wrong with you?
How'd you get that number
542
00:44:33,809 --> 00:44:36,058
from feedwater leaking
from a blown tank?
543
00:44:39,559 --> 00:44:43,100
-You don't.
-Then what the fuck
are you talking about?
544
00:44:47,225 --> 00:44:49,100
I, um...
(clears throat)
545
00:44:50,933 --> 00:44:54,434
I walked around
the exterior of Building 4.
546
00:44:55,475 --> 00:44:58,933
I think there's graphite
on the ground in the rubble.
547
00:44:59,933 --> 00:45:01,726
You didn't see graphite.
548
00:45:02,642 --> 00:45:04,559
-I did.
-You didn't.
549
00:45:05,475 --> 00:45:09,267
You didn't!
Because it's not there!
550
00:45:10,142 --> 00:45:11,767
What?
551
00:45:11,851 --> 00:45:15,350
Are you suggesting
the core... what?
552
00:45:15,434 --> 00:45:17,601
Exploded?
553
00:45:19,267 --> 00:45:20,601
Yes.
554
00:45:29,017 --> 00:45:30,309
Sitnikov.
555
00:45:31,559 --> 00:45:34,100
You're a nuclear
engineer, so am I.
556
00:45:34,183 --> 00:45:40,392
Please tell me how an RBMK
reactor core explodes.
557
00:45:40,475 --> 00:45:44,142
Not a meltdown, an explosion.
558
00:45:44,225 --> 00:45:45,975
I'd love to know.
559
00:45:47,142 --> 00:45:48,475
I can't.
560
00:45:49,350 --> 00:45:50,851
Are you stupid?
561
00:45:51,975 --> 00:45:54,767
-No.
-Then why can't you?
562
00:45:56,100 --> 00:45:57,684
I... (stammers)
563
00:45:59,642 --> 00:46:02,267
I don't see how
it could explode.
564
00:46:04,642 --> 00:46:06,392
-But it did.
-Dyatlov: Enough!
565
00:46:06,475 --> 00:46:08,267
I'll go up
to the vent block roof.
566
00:46:08,350 --> 00:46:11,726
From there you can look right
down into reactor Building 4.
567
00:46:11,809 --> 00:46:15,475
I'll see it with my own...
my own eyes.
568
00:46:15,559 --> 00:46:18,183
(vomiting)
569
00:46:21,726 --> 00:46:23,309
I apologize.
570
00:46:24,809 --> 00:46:26,559
Guards! Guards!
571
00:46:27,517 --> 00:46:30,851
Get him to the medic
or the hospital!
Whatever he needs!
572
00:46:38,183 --> 00:46:40,309
(groaning)
573
00:46:46,933 --> 00:46:50,183
It's the feedwater.
Been around it all night.
574
00:46:52,559 --> 00:46:53,892
You go then.
575
00:46:56,892 --> 00:46:58,392
What?
576
00:46:58,475 --> 00:47:02,851
-Go to the vent block roof
and report back what you see.
-No.
577
00:47:06,434 --> 00:47:10,267
-No, I won't do that.
-Of course you will.
578
00:47:15,392 --> 00:47:18,726
You'll be fine. You'll see.
579
00:47:20,058 --> 00:47:21,559
Come on.
580
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:39,142

581
00:48:02,892 --> 00:48:04,267

Deputy Chairman of
the Council of Ministers
615
00:52:59,142 --> 00:53:01,767

for Fuel and Energy.
616

There's been an accident
at the Chernobyl Nuclear
Power Plant.

00:53:06,684 --> 00:53:07,851
How bad is it?
618
00:53:07,933 --> 00:53:10,100
No. No need to panic.
There was a fire.
619
00:53:10,183 --> 00:53:13,142
It's mostly put out.
The system control
tank exploded.
620

Control system tank.
And the core?
621
00:53:16,851 --> 00:53:20,017
We've ordered them to
continuously pump water.
622
00:53:20,100 --> 00:53:22,767
Yes, I see.
Any contamination?
623
00:53:22,851 --> 00:53:25,684
It's mild. The plant manager,
Bryukhanov, is reporting
624
00:53:25,767 --> 00:53:27,267
3.6 roentgen per hour.
625
00:53:27,350 --> 00:53:29,517

to manage the accident.
You're on it.
629
00:53:42,100 --> 00:53:44,267

given the amount of radiation
that it would be--
632
00:53:49,350 --> 00:53:52,142
Legasov, you're on this
committee to answer
direct questions
633
00:53:52,225 --> 00:53:55,058
about the function
of an RBMK reactor
634
