I'm not rejecting out-of-hand the possibility that the engineers were locked into a mindset that what people reported was so unbelievable that they summarily rejected it time after time, but it rang more of dramatization than knowing insight.
After watching I of course went to the interwebs to do a little reading. It seems as if they were accurate in the story that they didn't believe what happened, could happen. But i'm guessing there was some drama added.

So apparently there are people out there who think there are no such things as nuclear weapons and think this was all staged since there are now animals back there?

People are dumb.

As someone who works around radiation, let me tell you that when it comes to radiation, almost everyone is dumb.

True


The word radiation scares people though. So many people try and refuse dental xrays here because of it.

If you want a minute-by-minute accounting of what happened there is a series available on Amazon Prime called Zero Hour. They cover what happened in Chernobyl, including the design flaws of the RBMK, pretty thoroughly for an hour-long show. In short, Dyatlov ****ed up majorly, the engineers knew it wasn't safe, but no one challenged him because they didn't want exiled from a prestigious and well-paying job.

I'm gonna check out that episode. Actually, the whole series looks pretty interesting. Thanks for the suggestion.

I watched it prior to watching this.

This is WAY better. Again, presuming that they aren't playing fast and loose with the science. But with the pains Craig Mazin took to being historically accurate, I'd be floored if the end game is where he decides to fudge facts for the sake of narrative.

The podcast is very good about explaining each episodes accuracy. When they took dramatic license. The words and actions were real just not in this time and place in the story. etc.

Not going to read the posts yet. I bought HBO so I could watch this series. I’ll be watching the first episode tonight. Chernobyl always fascinated me.

There’s also another show on early next month with original footage from the Memphis Belle, remastered or whatever. Should be good also. “The Cold Blue”.

Just browsing the Chernobyl wiki. Kinda blows my mind that for all of the attention this disaster has garnered over the decades, there were only 28 initial deaths, and 15 later on that were indirectly attributed. Maybe those are artificially low, but given the horrors attributed to Chernobyl one would tend to think that thousands died, maybe tens of thousand sick on top of that.

I am sure some of the liquidators and others containing it probably have a higher incidence of cancer. It was and is a big problem but not one that should shut down an entire method of creating energy.

I thought the trailer was boring, so I wasn't all that enthusiastic about watching it, but maybe I'll give it a go when my queue clears a bit.
