1
00:02:27,479 --> 00:02:30,399
Bryukhanov should be promoted.

2
00:02:30,479 --> 00:02:34,279
If that weren't the problem
with the security test...

3
00:02:34,359 --> 00:02:37,439
If we Him
can bring to a conclusion,

4
00:02:37,519 --> 00:02:40,519
then his promotion is
probably very likely.

5
00:02:40,519 --> 00:02:41,719
Then is his promotion
probably very likely.

6
00:02:41,799 --> 00:02:43,879
Who knows
maybe Moscow.

7
00:02:45,559 --> 00:02:48,079
Consequently, one becomes me
appoint as his successor,

8
00:02:48,199 --> 00:02:50,999
and I need someone
who takes over my position.

9
00:02:52,679 --> 00:02:55,199
Yes, possibly Sitnikov...

10
00:03:03,199 --> 00:03:06,039
I would like to
be taken into account.

11
00:03:08,239 --> 00:03:09,719
That's good to know.

12
00:03:11,559 --> 00:03:15,559
Viktor Petrovich,
Everything is ready for the test.

13
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,759
Comrade Dyatlov according to
my instructions

14
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:21,879
the output of reactor 4
reduced to 1600 megawatts.

15
00:03:21,879 --> 00:03:22,959
The performance of reactor 4
reduced to 1600 megawatts.

16
00:03:23,039 --> 00:03:26,199
We are now waiting for your approval,
to further reduce performance...

17
00:03:26,279 --> 00:03:27,999
We have to wait.

18
00:03:28,959 --> 00:03:30,359
Is there, uh...

19
00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:33,199
Do you want to ask if it
a problem, Nikolai?

20
00:03:33,279 --> 00:03:35,599
Don't look at me
damn?

21
00:03:35,679 --> 00:03:38,679
I've wanted this test for three years
bring to a conclusion, for three years!

22
00:03:38,679 --> 00:03:40,039
I've wanted this test for three years
bring to a conclusion, for three years!

23
00:03:45,839 --> 00:03:49,039
The load distributor from Kyiv has
called earlier, he said,

24
00:03:49,119 --> 00:03:51,759
we can continue the performance in the next
Do not shut down further for 10 hours.

25
00:03:51,839 --> 00:03:53,999
A load balancer?
What comes to mind...

26
00:03:54,079 --> 00:03:57,079
The decision is not there
at the load distributor. It's the end of the month.

27
00:03:57,079 --> 00:03:59,199
The decision is not there
at the load distributor. It's the end of the month.

28
00:03:59,279 --> 00:04:02,279
All the production quotas.
Everyone is working overtime,

29
00:04:02,279 --> 00:04:03,479
All the production quotas.
Everyone is working overtime,

30
00:04:03,559 --> 00:04:06,239
the factories need electricity,
someone passes on the pressure

31
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:09,159
from top to bottom.
Without us finding out who.

32
00:04:16,319 --> 00:04:18,799
We have to do the test
call it off now, or what?

33
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:21,959
No, I don't think so. Wenn wir 10 Stunden
If we have to wait, then we'll just wait.

34
00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:23,719
No, I don't think so. If we have 10 hours
If we have to wait, then we'll just wait.

35
00:04:23,799 --> 00:04:26,519
Can the reactor be at
not become unstable at half power?

36
00:04:26,599 --> 00:04:30,559
-No, I would say...
-I'm not asking you.

37
00:04:32,359 --> 00:04:34,039
It's safe.

38
00:04:34,119 --> 00:04:37,719
We'll keep it at 1600, I'll go me
rest and come back this evening.

39
00:04:37,799 --> 00:04:40,799
Then we continue.
I personally supervise the test.

40
00:04:40,799 --> 00:04:42,599
Then we continue.
I personally supervise the test.

41
00:04:42,679 --> 00:04:45,319
And I will complete it.

42
00:04:47,999 --> 00:04:50,999
You don't need me for that.
Then call me.

43
00:04:50,999 --> 00:04:52,559
You don't need me for that.
Then call me.

44
00:06:25,599 --> 00:06:27,559
How are you feeling?

45
00:06:29,039 --> 00:06:31,679
You went to the doctor yesterday.
Are you okay?

46
00:06:32,559 --> 00:06:33,999
Don't you know that?

47
00:06:35,919 --> 00:06:38,759
From Vienna.
Can you read that?

48
00:06:40,039 --> 00:06:43,039
Here it says: "Finally a Soviet one
Scientist who tells the truth."

49
00:06:43,039 --> 00:06:45,479
Here it says: "Finally a Soviet one
Scientist who tells the truth."

50
00:06:45,879 --> 00:06:48,079
I'm annoyed by the assumption that

51
00:06:48,159 --> 00:06:51,399
but you have at the conference
cut an excellent figure.

52
00:06:51,479 --> 00:06:53,599
They are surprisingly good at it.

53
00:06:53,879 --> 00:06:56,879
-Wherein? In lying?
-Statesmanship, Legasov. Statesmanship.

54
00:06:56,879 --> 00:06:58,759
-Wherein? In lying?
-Statesmanship, Legasov. Statesmanship.

55
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,839
The West is now convinced
that Chernobyl was the only consequence

56
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,039
The West is now convinced
that Chernobyl was the only consequence

57
00:07:03,119 --> 00:07:05,919
an operating error.
Which is basically true.

58
00:07:06,079 --> 00:07:09,759
We have you to thank for that.
And herewith.

59
00:07:13,159 --> 00:07:15,919
"Hero of the Soviet Union."

60
00:07:15,999 --> 00:07:18,999
Our highest award.
So far it has been denied even to me.

61
00:07:18,999 --> 00:07:20,399
Our highest award.
So far it has been denied even to me.

62
00:07:20,679 --> 00:07:24,559
"Promotion to Director
the Kurchatov Institute.”

63
00:07:27,159 --> 00:07:28,799
How flattering.

64
00:07:28,879 --> 00:07:32,839
I think you're in favor of flattery
unreceptive, Valery Alexeyevich.

65
00:07:32,919 --> 00:07:35,919
And none of it belongs to you yet.
First you will testify in the trial.

66
00:07:35,919 --> 00:07:37,159
And none of it belongs to you yet.
First you will testify in the trial.

67
00:07:37,239 --> 00:07:41,119
Comrade Kharkov, what the state
expected of me, I know.

68
00:07:42,119 --> 00:07:44,519
But you guaranteed us something.

69
00:07:44,599 --> 00:07:46,959
The reactors have to
be made safe.

70
00:07:47,039 --> 00:07:49,559
That was months ago.
Nothing has been modified

71
00:07:49,639 --> 00:07:51,159
not even yet
talked about it...

72
00:07:51,279 --> 00:07:53,399
First the negotiation.

73
00:07:54,159 --> 00:07:56,879
The perpetrators are then identified.

74
00:07:56,959 --> 00:07:59,999
Then we have a hero
and we have a truth.

75
00:08:00,079 --> 00:08:03,719
And only then take care of it
let's talk about the reactors.

76
00:09:24,879 --> 00:09:26,559
Did you take the train?

77
00:09:26,639 --> 00:09:29,639
Yes, I took the train.
And now let's talk about Vienna.

78
00:09:29,639 --> 00:09:31,679
Yes, I took the train.
And now let's talk about Vienna.

79
00:09:32,319 --> 00:09:34,359
I don't want to reprimand you.

80
00:09:34,519 --> 00:09:37,519
I know how the world works,
even if Shcherbina thinks I'm naive.

81
00:09:37,519 --> 00:09:38,799
I know how the world works,
even if Shcherbina thinks I'm naive.

82
00:09:38,879 --> 00:09:42,359
And?
Then why are you here?

83
00:09:42,959 --> 00:09:45,959
Because I'm quite stubborn.
Whatever you expect from me.

84
00:09:45,959 --> 00:09:47,279
Because I'm quite stubborn.
Whatever you expect from me.

85
00:09:51,119 --> 00:09:54,119
Charkov sagt, sie modifizieren
the reactors only after the negotiation.

86
00:09:54,119 --> 00:09:55,399
Charkov says they are modifying
the reactors only after the negotiation.

87
00:09:56,799 --> 00:09:58,999
Do you believe him?

88
00:10:01,039 --> 00:10:04,199
The state organs will
never do it of your own free will because...

89
00:10:04,279 --> 00:10:06,799
they would then also have to admit
that they lied.

90
00:10:06,879 --> 00:10:09,119
You have to do this
be forced.

91
00:10:15,079 --> 00:10:18,919
You must tell the truth in court.

92
00:10:20,159 --> 00:10:22,239
You have to be convincing.

93
00:10:22,319 --> 00:10:26,319
This is a show trial. The verdict has
have long since been handed over to the judges.

94
00:10:26,399 --> 00:10:28,599
I don't mean that.

95
00:10:29,999 --> 00:10:32,639
The Central Committee has
some scientists,

96
00:10:32,719 --> 00:10:35,719
those as process observers
are to act, summoned.

97
00:10:35,799 --> 00:10:38,799
Our colleagues. From Kurchatov,
the Sredmash, the Minenergo...

98
00:10:38,799 --> 00:10:41,359
Our colleagues. From Kurchatov,
the Sredmash, the Minenergo...

99
00:10:41,439 --> 00:10:44,719
You will sit on the benches and
listening to your every word.

100
00:10:44,799 --> 00:10:46,759
Judges, from whom
only we both know.

101
00:10:46,839 --> 00:10:50,519
And if you in your statement
describe the explosion,

102
00:10:51,799 --> 00:10:55,399
then our judges will be
finally find out the truth.

103
00:10:55,479 --> 00:10:58,919
-And what to do?
-To demand reforms.

104
00:10:59,839 --> 00:11:02,639
Not just for RBMK reactors,
but the entire industry.

105
00:11:02,719 --> 00:11:05,799
-No no no.
-Without us it will come to a standstill. If...

106
00:11:05,879 --> 00:11:08,879
Do you know the whereabouts of Volkov,
whose report you showed me?

107
00:11:08,879 --> 00:11:10,519
Do you know the whereabouts of Volkov,
whose report you showed me?

108
00:11:10,599 --> 00:11:14,279
They'll have him in no time
removed from his institute position.

109
00:11:14,959 --> 00:11:17,559
Dismissed because he knew too much.

110
00:11:17,959 --> 00:11:20,959
And these hand-picked scientists,
these observers at a show trial,

111
00:11:20,959 --> 00:11:22,479
And these hand-picked scientists,
these observers at a show trial,

112
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,559
should it be possible to mobilize somehow?
From me?

113
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:26,599
should it be possible to mobilize somehow?
From me?

114
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,639
Because of some heroic act
of resistance against the state?

115
00:11:30,719 --> 00:11:32,599
-Why?

116
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,319
Because you are Valery Legasov.
Your word carries weight.

117
00:11:38,239 --> 00:11:41,559
I wish it would be enough
that I open my mouth.

118
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,159
But I know
how the world works.

119
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,399
They shoot me, Khomyuk.

120
00:11:52,319 --> 00:11:55,959
They wanted from me
that I find out what happened.

121
00:11:56,039 --> 00:11:58,159
I interviewed dozens of people.

122
00:11:58,239 --> 00:12:01,239
Everything they told me, I have
written down. In these notebooks.

123
00:12:01,239 --> 00:12:03,959
Everything they told me, I have
written down. In these notebooks.

124
00:12:04,919 --> 00:12:07,999
Those here are still alive,
and they are all dead.

125
00:12:08,079 --> 00:12:10,279
Died trying
to save others.

126
00:12:10,359 --> 00:12:13,079
They put out fires.
Injured people cared for.

127
00:12:13,159 --> 00:12:16,719
Determined, without hesitation.
They simply did what was necessary.

128
00:12:16,799 --> 00:12:20,679
I have that too!
I have that too.

129
00:12:20,759 --> 00:12:23,759
I drove voluntarily
an open reactor.

130
00:12:23,839 --> 00:12:26,599
In that respect I already have
sacrificed my life.

131
00:12:27,479 --> 00:12:29,479
Isn't that enough?

132
00:12:30,359 --> 00:12:33,039
<i>No, I'm sorry,
it's not enough.</i>

133
00:13:38,999 --> 00:13:42,199
The Central Committee of the
Communist Party of the Soviet Union

134
00:13:42,279 --> 00:13:45,519
and the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet
the USSR decided

135
00:13:45,599 --> 00:13:48,399
that in the name of the people
Justice should be done.

136
00:13:48,479 --> 00:13:51,479
Just like the party does
the 20th, 21st and 22nd party congresses

137
00:13:51,479 --> 00:13:54,239
Just like the party does
the 20th, 21st and 22nd party congresses

138
00:13:54,319 --> 00:13:56,359
has set as its primary goal,
and as Lenin also demands.

139
00:13:56,439 --> 00:14:00,359
This was, is and remains the only thing
immovable goal of the Soviet state.

140
00:14:00,439 --> 00:14:02,959
The path of Leninist principles
should be consistent and unwavering

141
00:14:03,039 --> 00:14:04,359
be walked.

142
00:14:04,439 --> 00:14:07,239
He describes life interests
of the Soviet people,

143
00:14:07,319 --> 00:14:11,079
his hopes and expectations that it
in our party and state leadership.

144
00:14:11,159 --> 00:14:13,279
This court hearing
is now open.

145
00:14:13,359 --> 00:14:16,079
Comrade Richter is in the chair
Milan Kadnikov.

146
00:14:17,239 --> 00:14:18,799
Charges:

147
00:14:18,879 --> 00:14:21,879
Viktor Bryukhanov, Anatoly Dyatlov,
and Nikolai Fomin...

148
00:14:21,879 --> 00:14:24,799
Viktor Bryukhanov, Anatoly Dyatlov,
and Nikolai Fomin...

149
00:14:24,879 --> 00:14:28,079
become the violation
against Article 220, paragraph 2

150
00:14:28,159 --> 00:14:29,919
of the Criminal Code
accused of the Soviet Union

151
00:14:29,999 --> 00:14:32,999
what a nuclear catastrophe
of April 26, 1986.

152
00:14:32,999 --> 00:14:34,199
What the nuclear catastrophe
of April 26, 1986.

153
00:14:34,279 --> 00:14:37,759
Prosecution witnesses
are Comrade Khomyuk

154
00:14:37,839 --> 00:14:39,719
from the Belarusian Institute
for nuclear energy,

155
00:14:39,799 --> 00:14:42,799
Comrade Legasov from
Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy,

156
00:14:42,799 --> 00:14:44,359
Comrade Legasov from
Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy,

157
00:14:44,439 --> 00:14:47,919
and comrade
Boris Evdokimovich Shcherbina,

158
00:14:47,999 --> 00:14:50,959
deputy chairman
of the Council of Ministers,

159
00:14:51,039 --> 00:14:53,999
and head of the ministry
for petroleum and energy.

160
00:15:26,799 --> 00:15:29,799
It started of all times
with a security test.

161
00:15:29,799 --> 00:15:30,959
It started of all times
with a security test.

162
00:15:31,999 --> 00:15:35,159
But why existed at all?
the need for it?

163
00:15:35,239 --> 00:15:38,799
Reactor number 4 was not new,
when the accident happened.

164
00:15:38,879 --> 00:15:41,879
Rather, he was already leaving
operational on December 20, 1983.

165
00:15:41,879 --> 00:15:44,039
Rather, he was already leaving
operational on December 20, 1983.

166
00:15:44,199 --> 00:15:47,199
And eleven days later,
on the last day of the year,

167
00:15:47,199 --> 00:15:48,359
And eleven days later,
on the last day of the year,

168
00:15:48,439 --> 00:15:51,439
has power plant director Viktor Bryukhanov
signed this document.

169
00:15:51,439 --> 00:15:53,119
Has power plant director Viktor Bryukhanov
signed this document.

170
00:15:53,719 --> 00:15:56,719
It certifies acceptance
and completion of the reactor.

171
00:15:56,719 --> 00:15:59,039
It certifies acceptance
and completion of the reactor.

172
00:16:00,239 --> 00:16:03,519
Due to construction completion
before the end of the year,

173
00:16:04,559 --> 00:16:07,559
was awarded to Comrade Bryukhanov
the “Hero of Socialist Work”.

174
00:16:07,559 --> 00:16:09,199
Awarded to Comrade Bryukhanov
the “Hero of Socialist Work”.

175
00:16:09,279 --> 00:16:13,079
Comrade Fomin received the order
for “heroic work”.

176
00:16:13,159 --> 00:16:16,159
And Comrade Dyatlov was drawn
with the “Red Banner Order”.

177
00:16:16,159 --> 00:16:17,279
And Comrade Dyatlov was drawn
with the “Red Banner Order”.

178
00:16:19,039 --> 00:16:21,919
But the work was
not completed.

179
00:16:23,319 --> 00:16:27,239
And that document was a lie.

180
00:16:27,639 --> 00:16:30,559
The exhibition
this certificate requires

181
00:16:30,639 --> 00:16:34,479
that all security tests
were carried out successfully.

182
00:16:34,559 --> 00:16:36,839
And yet one still stood out.

183
00:16:39,399 --> 00:16:42,399
A nuclear reactor produces heat
at the core, here.

184
00:16:42,399 --> 00:16:44,159
A nuclear reactor produces heat
at the core, here.

185
00:16:44,359 --> 00:16:46,879
A set of pumps
- here and here -

186
00:16:46,959 --> 00:16:50,159
supplies the core
continuously with cooling water.

187
00:16:50,239 --> 00:16:52,799
Leave the heat in the core
the water evaporate,

188
00:16:52,879 --> 00:16:56,759
the steam drives a turbine,
and that generates electricity.

189
00:16:56,839 --> 00:17:00,759
But what if a power plant
no more power?

190
00:17:00,839 --> 00:17:03,839
If the power supply to the power plant
is itself interrupted?

191
00:17:03,839 --> 00:17:04,919
If the power supply to the power plant
is itself interrupted?

192
00:17:04,999 --> 00:17:07,999
Due to a power failure, a malfunction,
or as a result of an enemy attack?

193
00:17:07,999 --> 00:17:09,959
Due to a power failure, a malfunction,
or as a result of an enemy attack?

194
00:17:10,199 --> 00:17:14,039
Pump without power supply
the cooling water pumps have no water

195
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:15,199
through the core.

196
00:17:15,279 --> 00:17:18,279
Without cooling water the core overheats and
the fuel begins to melt.

197
00:17:18,279 --> 00:17:19,399
Without cooling water the core overheats and
the fuel begins to melt.

198
00:17:19,519 --> 00:17:21,759
In short,
a nuclear disaster.

199
00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:24,839
The solution? Three diesel powered
Emergency generators, here.

200
00:17:24,839 --> 00:17:26,919
The solution? Three diesel powered
Emergency generators, here.

201
00:17:27,079 --> 00:17:30,679
So? Problem solved?
No.

202
00:17:30,759 --> 00:17:33,959
Bryukhanov knew the problem
was not at all solved.

203
00:17:34,039 --> 00:17:37,039
The emergency generators reach after
about a minute the necessary power,

204
00:17:37,039 --> 00:17:38,399
The emergency generators reach after
about a minute the necessary power,

205
00:17:38,479 --> 00:17:41,759
to drive the pumps
and prevent the core meltdown.

206
00:17:41,839 --> 00:17:44,839
And by then it would be too late.
That leads us to the security test.

207
00:17:44,839 --> 00:17:47,919
And by then it would be too late.
That leads us to the security test.

208
00:17:49,079 --> 00:17:52,079
The theory looked like this:
If the power goes out in the system,

209
00:17:52,079 --> 00:17:53,399
The theory looked like this:
If the power goes out in the system,

210
00:17:53,479 --> 00:17:56,479
the rotating turbine would be in front of the
Run for a while after standing still.

211
00:17:56,479 --> 00:17:57,719
Would the rotating turbine in front of the
Run for a while after standing still.

212
00:17:57,799 --> 00:18:01,599
Then why don't you use the electricity?
which she still creates...

213
00:18:01,679 --> 00:18:04,959
and directs it to the pumps?
Holds the outgoing turbine

214
00:18:05,039 --> 00:18:08,039
the pumps don't run long enough,
to bridge the 60 seconds

215
00:18:08,039 --> 00:18:09,079
the pumps don't run long enough,
to bridge the 60 seconds

216
00:18:09,159 --> 00:18:11,719
until the generators start?

217
00:18:15,759 --> 00:18:17,399
Any questions?

218
00:18:18,639 --> 00:18:22,319
No.
Continue, please.

219
00:18:23,319 --> 00:18:26,319
To prove this, first
the reactor output is reduced,

220
00:18:26,319 --> 00:18:28,639
To prove this, first
the reactor output is reduced,

221
00:18:28,719 --> 00:18:32,279
up to 700 megawatts.
Then you simulate the power failure.

222
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,799
This is what you ask
the turbines off,

223
00:18:34,879 --> 00:18:38,559
and as they slowly phase out,
the voltage generated is measured,

224
00:18:38,679 --> 00:18:41,599
to see if it is enough,
to supply the pumps.

225
00:18:41,679 --> 00:18:44,199
The theory makes sense.

226
00:18:44,559 --> 00:18:47,559
But a test is only so good
like the men who carry it out.

227
00:18:47,559 --> 00:18:49,759
But a test is only so good
like the men who carry it out.

228
00:18:50,159 --> 00:18:53,159
The first of their attempts failed.
Her second attempt also failed.

229
00:18:53,159 --> 00:18:56,279
The first of their attempts failed.
Her second attempt also failed.

230
00:18:56,439 --> 00:18:59,239
Even her third attempt
failed.

231
00:18:59,319 --> 00:19:02,319
Finally, her fourth attempt
was on April 26, 1986.

232
00:19:02,319 --> 00:19:05,919
Finally, her fourth attempt
was on April 26, 1986.

233
00:19:17,199 --> 00:19:19,119
Comrade Khomyuk.

234
00:19:41,639 --> 00:19:43,999
To the events during
to understand that night

235
00:19:44,079 --> 00:19:45,879
we have to do 10 hours
go back.

236
00:19:45,999 --> 00:19:49,079
For April 25th, the original one
Date for the test.

237
00:19:49,159 --> 00:19:52,759
The reactor power is at 2 p.m
already reduced to half.

238
00:19:52,839 --> 00:19:55,519
Of the usual nominal power
of 3,200 megawatts...

239
00:19:55,599 --> 00:19:58,999
to 1,600 megawatts. He is stable
and ready for the test

240
00:19:59,079 --> 00:20:02,639
necessary power is throttled
to be: 700 megawatts.

241
00:20:02,719 --> 00:20:06,679
But before they can continue,
she receives a call.

242
00:20:07,079 --> 00:20:10,719
The load distributor in Kyiv lets you know
that you stay until after midnight

243
00:20:10,799 --> 00:20:13,759
no further loss of performance
could allow.

244
00:20:13,839 --> 00:20:16,839
They ask for a 10 hour delay.
This is the first critical moment.

245
00:20:16,839 --> 00:20:19,159
They ask for a 10 hour delay.
This is the first critical moment.

246
00:20:19,239 --> 00:20:21,879
The first link in the chain of misfortune.

247
00:20:21,959 --> 00:20:24,959
Have competent decision makers
urged to cancel the test.

248
00:20:24,959 --> 00:20:26,239
Have competent decision makers
urged to cancel the test.

249
00:20:26,319 --> 00:20:28,959
These three men have
allowed him to continue.

250
00:20:30,159 --> 00:20:32,399
Why was this delay
so dangerous?

251
00:20:32,479 --> 00:20:35,479
It caused two problems.
One of them is scientific in nature.

252
00:20:35,479 --> 00:20:37,599
It caused two problems.
One of them is scientific in nature.

253
00:20:38,759 --> 00:20:41,759
The other is extremely human.
We will examine this first.

254
00:20:41,759 --> 00:20:43,799
The other is extremely human.
We will examine this first.

255
00:20:44,679 --> 00:20:47,679
At midnight takes place
a shift change takes place.

256
00:20:47,679 --> 00:20:49,279
At midnight takes place
a shift change takes place.

257
00:21:02,919 --> 00:21:04,639
-Khodemchuk...
-Forget it.

258
00:21:04,719 --> 00:21:06,319
Find one
other idiots.

259
00:21:06,399 --> 00:21:08,599
Toptunov, you want
buy a motorcycle?

260
00:21:08,679 --> 00:21:11,679
Toptunov? He's still a child.
Has more hair on his face than on his sack!

261
00:21:11,679 --> 00:21:12,839
Toptunov? He's still a child.
Has more hair on his face than on his sack!

262
00:21:12,919 --> 00:21:15,159
Hair?
Oh, that's growing on his lip?

263
00:21:16,959 --> 00:21:19,959
Leonid Pedorovych... Akimov needs you
in the control room as quickly as possible.

264
00:21:19,959 --> 00:21:21,239
Leonid Pedorovych... Akimov needs you
in the control room as quickly as possible.

265
00:21:21,319 --> 00:21:23,439
-He's already there?
-Come early.

266
00:21:23,519 --> 00:21:25,319
It's probably about a test.

267
00:21:26,399 --> 00:21:28,399
Do you see?
They are desperate.

268
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:39,119
Sasha?

269
00:21:39,839 --> 00:21:42,639
Uh. Do you remember the test?
which was prescribed

270
00:21:42,719 --> 00:21:46,119
the turbine shutdown,
the one from last year?

271
00:21:46,199 --> 00:21:49,399
It didn't work during the day shift,
so they hand it over to us.

272
00:21:49,479 --> 00:21:52,519
-To us? We don't even know...
-Shit...

273
00:21:53,159 --> 00:21:55,799
-We don't even know how.
-It'll be fine.

274
00:21:55,879 --> 00:21:58,839
We'll throttle it to 700
and hold him there, do the rest

275
00:21:58,919 --> 00:22:01,919
Stolyarchuk and cherry tree, but...
Dyatlov will monitor everything.

276
00:22:01,919 --> 00:22:03,479
Stolyarchuk and cherry tree, but...
Dyatlov will monitor everything.

277
00:22:03,559 --> 00:22:06,599
I have to do something for the first time
and Dyatlov is looking over my shoulder?

278
00:22:06,679 --> 00:22:09,679
Always take it easy. We'll do it together.
I'm currently reading the instructions.

279
00:22:09,679 --> 00:22:11,439
Always take it easy. We'll do it together.
I'm currently reading the instructions.

280
00:22:12,479 --> 00:22:14,959
Should we do that too?
or not?

281
00:22:22,679 --> 00:22:25,679
Yes, here is Akimov,
Block 4.

282
00:22:26,039 --> 00:22:29,559
I have the manual here
for the shutdown test.

283
00:22:29,639 --> 00:22:32,039
You did it last year.

284
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,119
Yes, there are instructions in the manual
and some things have been crossed out. What...

285
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,399
Yes, there are instructions in the manual
and some things have been crossed out. What...

286
00:22:39,399 --> 00:22:40,959
But what should I...

287
00:22:42,719 --> 00:22:44,279
Are you sure?

288
00:22:45,239 --> 00:22:47,559
Understand. Thanks.

289
00:22:48,479 --> 00:22:51,399
He says we should
Also do crossed out ones.

290
00:22:51,479 --> 00:22:53,719
Then why is it crossed out?

291
00:22:59,599 --> 00:23:02,599
I have clearance for the test.
1600, good.

292
00:23:02,599 --> 00:23:04,119
I have clearance for the test.
1600, good.

293
00:23:04,199 --> 00:23:07,439
Can I assume
that you all know what to do?

294
00:23:07,519 --> 00:23:09,679
-Well...
-Yes, absolutely.

295
00:23:10,239 --> 00:23:11,959
-Stolyarchuk?
-Yes.

296
00:23:12,039 --> 00:23:13,119
Cherry tree?

297
00:23:13,199 --> 00:23:16,759
Uh, I haven't read it yet,
we just found out...

298
00:23:16,839 --> 00:23:19,879
There. Read it.
Or just do as I say.

299
00:23:19,959 --> 00:23:22,959
I think even a fool
how do you manage it?

300
00:23:23,639 --> 00:23:24,959
Okay, then let's go.

301
00:23:28,439 --> 00:23:31,239
I should switch off the turbine,
as long as the reactor is still running?

302
00:23:31,319 --> 00:23:33,439
-That's not a good...
-Shut up, damn it!

303
00:23:33,519 --> 00:23:35,679
And do your job.

304
00:23:35,759 --> 00:23:38,959
Toptunov.
Reduce power to 700.

305
00:23:40,679 --> 00:23:42,959
I've never had it on
so little power reduced.

306
00:23:43,039 --> 00:23:44,879
It's okay, I'm with you.

307
00:23:49,679 --> 00:23:51,639
Power is reduced to 700.

308
00:23:52,799 --> 00:23:55,079
Please introduce yourself
Yuri Gagarin.

309
00:23:56,919 --> 00:24:00,719
Imagine that there is nothing about him
his space mission was said,

310
00:24:00,799 --> 00:24:02,879
to the moment he
is on the launch pad.

311
00:24:02,959 --> 00:24:06,599
Please imagine that he just
has a list of instructions,

312
00:24:06,679 --> 00:24:10,039
that he sees for the first time,
and some of which are crossed out.

313
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,119
Because that's exactly how it happened
in the control room of reactor 4.

314
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,719
Because that's exactly how it happened
in the control room of reactor 4.

315
00:24:14,799 --> 00:24:17,559
The night shift was for this experiment
not been trained,

316
00:24:17,639 --> 00:24:19,519
yes, they weren't
once warned.

317
00:24:19,599 --> 00:24:22,599
Leonid Toptunov, whom one met that night
responsibility for control

318
00:24:22,599 --> 00:24:24,199
Leonid Toptunov, whom one met that night
responsibility for control

319
00:24:24,279 --> 00:24:27,159
and stabilization of the reactor
transmitted, was...

320
00:24:28,079 --> 00:24:31,039
a whole 25 years old.

321
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,119
And his professional experience
was 4 months.

322
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:35,479
And his professional experience
was 4 months.

323
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,319
That was the human problem
as a result of the postponement.

324
00:24:40,679 --> 00:24:43,679
But inside the reactor core,
in the spaces between atoms,

325
00:24:43,679 --> 00:24:44,879
But inside the reactor core,
in the spaces between atoms,

326
00:24:44,959 --> 00:24:48,559
grows a far more
greater threat.

327
00:24:48,639 --> 00:24:50,279
Namely a poison.

328
00:24:51,799 --> 00:24:54,039
It is now 12:28 a.m.

329
00:25:11,319 --> 00:25:13,319
Comrade Legasov.

330
00:25:48,919 --> 00:25:51,919
I'm happy to see a few here
my colleagues from the Kurchatov Institute

331
00:25:51,919 --> 00:25:53,039
I'm happy to see a few here
my colleagues from the Kurchatov Institute

332
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,199
and seen by the Department of Energy.

333
00:25:56,039 --> 00:25:59,959
But you don't have to be a nuclear physicist to
to understand the Chernobyl accident.

334
00:26:00,039 --> 00:26:02,639
You need to know the following:

335
00:26:02,719 --> 00:26:05,719
Basically we differentiate between one thing
Nuclear reactor only between two processes.

336
00:26:05,719 --> 00:26:07,039
Basically we differentiate between one thing
Nuclear reactor only between two processes.

337
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,119
The “reactivity”, or in other words,
Fission rate either goes up

338
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:11,399
The “reactivity”, or in other words,
Fission rate either goes up

339
00:26:11,479 --> 00:26:14,399
or it goes down.
That's all.

340
00:26:15,559 --> 00:26:19,439
It is the job of a reactor operator
to keep the balance.

341
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:22,839
Uranium fuel.

342
00:26:24,839 --> 00:26:27,839
When uranium atoms split
and collide,

343
00:26:27,919 --> 00:26:29,319
the reactivity goes up.

344
00:26:29,399 --> 00:26:32,399
Now if you don't have the reactivity
balances out, it continues to rise.

345
00:26:32,399 --> 00:26:33,519
Now if you don't have the reactivity
balances out, it continues to rise.

346
00:26:35,239 --> 00:26:38,039
Hence the boron in the control rods.

347
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,119
It reduces reactivity
like the brakes in a car.

348
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:42,199
It reduces reactivity
like the brakes in a car.

349
00:26:43,919 --> 00:26:46,919
You have to add a third factor
take into account. Water.

350
00:26:46,919 --> 00:26:47,959
You have to add a third factor
take into account. Water.

351
00:26:48,639 --> 00:26:52,039
Cold water reduces
the heat in the system,

352
00:26:52,159 --> 00:26:54,719
while at the same time it evaporates
and forms steam bubbles.

353
00:26:54,879 --> 00:26:58,399
In an RBMK reactor
like the one in Chernobyl

354
00:26:58,479 --> 00:27:02,159
there is a so-called
"positive vapor bubble coefficient".

355
00:27:02,239 --> 00:27:04,039
What does that mean?

356
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:08,079
It means the more steam
prevails in the system

357
00:27:08,159 --> 00:27:11,759
the higher the reactivity.
That means more heat,

358
00:27:11,839 --> 00:27:14,999
that means more steam,
which again means...

359
00:27:15,079 --> 00:27:18,719
Now you might think we have it
to do with a vicious circle.

360
00:27:18,799 --> 00:27:21,359
And that would also be the case,
if it weren't for the...

361
00:27:26,839 --> 00:27:29,839
And that would also be the case,
if it weren't for this.

362
00:27:29,839 --> 00:27:32,319
And that would also be the case,
if it weren't for this.

363
00:27:32,399 --> 00:27:35,839
The “negative temperature coefficient”.

364
00:27:35,919 --> 00:27:38,919
As nuclear fuel gets hotter,
it becomes less reactive.

365
00:27:38,919 --> 00:27:40,519
As nuclear fuel gets hotter,
it becomes less reactive.

366
00:27:40,599 --> 00:27:43,599
So: fuel increases reactivity.

367
00:27:43,599 --> 00:27:44,999
So: fuel increases reactivity.

368
00:27:45,079 --> 00:27:47,879
Control rods and water reduce them.

369
00:27:47,959 --> 00:27:50,959
Steam causes them to rise.
The increase in temperature reduces it.

370
00:27:50,959 --> 00:27:52,959
Steam causes them to rise.
The increase in temperature reduces it.

371
00:27:54,319 --> 00:27:57,319
This is the invisible dance
that supplies entire cities with electricity,

372
00:27:57,319 --> 00:27:58,679
This is the invisible dance
that supplies entire cities with electricity,

373
00:27:58,759 --> 00:28:00,679
without smoke and fire.

374
00:28:00,759 --> 00:28:03,759
And it's fascinating
if everything goes smoothly.

375
00:28:03,759 --> 00:28:05,199
And it's fascinating
if everything goes smoothly.

376
00:28:06,919 --> 00:28:09,799
When the uranium is split
and releases energy,

377
00:28:09,879 --> 00:28:12,039
a new fission product is created.

378
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,759
Xenon.
Xenon reduces reactivity.

379
00:28:15,839 --> 00:28:19,239
That's the poison
that Comrade Khomyuk mentioned.

380
00:28:19,319 --> 00:28:21,959
The reactor is running
in the full performance range,

381
00:28:22,039 --> 00:28:24,399
the xenon still burns
before it can become dangerous.

382
00:28:24,479 --> 00:28:27,479
But because of the test postponement
reactor 4 in Chernobyl was running

383
00:28:27,479 --> 00:28:28,919
But because of the test postponement
reactor 4 in Chernobyl was running

384
00:28:28,999 --> 00:28:31,919
temporarily only at half power.
for 10 hours.

385
00:28:31,999 --> 00:28:34,679
The xenon could
so not to be burned.

386
00:28:35,839 --> 00:28:38,999
It has accumulated,
until the core was poisoned.

387
00:28:39,079 --> 00:28:42,799
The balance is slowly being lost.

388
00:28:42,879 --> 00:28:45,879
Finally prepared at midnight
prepare the reactor for it,

389
00:28:45,879 --> 00:28:47,159
Finally prepared at midnight
prepare the reactor for it,

390
00:28:47,279 --> 00:28:49,119
to be further throttled.

391
00:28:49,199 --> 00:28:52,199
And yet it becomes less
explode in less than an hour.

392
00:28:52,199 --> 00:28:53,319
And yet it becomes less
explode in less than an hour.

393
00:28:53,399 --> 00:28:56,679
If you don't understand
like a reactor that has been shut down

394
00:28:56,759 --> 00:28:59,119
can explode,
Nobody blames you for that.

395
00:28:59,199 --> 00:29:02,199
After all, you're not working
in the control room of a nuclear power plant.

396
00:29:02,199 --> 00:29:03,639
After all, you're not working
in the control room of a nuclear power plant.

397
00:29:03,719 --> 00:29:07,479
But as it turns out,
those responsible have

398
00:29:07,559 --> 00:29:10,159
didn't understand it either.

399
00:29:15,879 --> 00:29:18,839
Very carefully.
Drive it down.

400
00:29:18,999 --> 00:29:21,519
Good. Just as.

401
00:29:21,599 --> 00:29:23,079
They should have been finished long ago.

402
00:29:23,159 --> 00:29:25,119
We drive it strictly
down according to instructions.

403
00:29:25,199 --> 00:29:26,719
You think you're dawdling.

404
00:29:26,799 --> 00:29:29,599
I know 10 men in the factory,
that would already be finished.

405
00:29:29,679 --> 00:29:31,919
Go on,
That's a good thing.

406
00:29:40,519 --> 00:29:44,039
Cherry tree. get me,
when these old women are done.

407
00:29:44,119 --> 00:29:45,839
Yes, Comrade Dyatlov.

408
00:30:03,999 --> 00:30:06,999
Good. Now go on very slowly.
Slowly down to 700.

409
00:30:06,999 --> 00:30:08,959
Good. Now go on very slowly.
Slowly down to 700.

410
00:30:11,239 --> 00:30:12,559
Hey, hey, hey,
slowly!

411
00:30:12,639 --> 00:30:14,959
I have the bars
not moved at all.

412
00:30:23,719 --> 00:30:24,839
What's happening there?

413
00:30:25,599 --> 00:30:27,239
I don't even touch it.

414
00:30:50,719 --> 00:30:53,559
We did everything right.
Maybe it's xenon poisoning.

415
00:30:53,639 --> 00:30:56,159
If you suspect poisoning,
didn't you do everything right,

416
00:30:56,239 --> 00:30:58,719
because you're stalling my reactor!
Run it back up!

417
00:30:58,799 --> 00:31:02,799
Without the automatic power control
maybe we have more control...

418
00:31:02,919 --> 00:31:04,119
Do it. Go!

419
00:31:04,279 --> 00:31:07,879
OK, switch off automatic control,
go global. Leonid.

420
00:31:08,439 --> 00:31:11,519
Automatic deactivated,
global control activated.

421
00:31:16,199 --> 00:31:18,279
What have you done?

422
00:31:18,519 --> 00:31:22,519
-What you wanted. I...
-Look!

423
00:31:22,599 --> 00:31:24,279
I don't understand that...

424
00:31:24,359 --> 00:31:27,079
Fucking amateurs.
They cut him off.

425
00:31:27,159 --> 00:31:28,599
Damn how did you
Got your job?

426
00:31:28,679 --> 00:31:29,759
Comrade Dyatlov...

427
00:31:29,839 --> 00:31:32,559
Tell me again you have everything
Done right, you incompetent asshole?

428
00:31:32,639 --> 00:31:35,759
I ask your forgiveness for
the disappointing result.

429
00:31:41,159 --> 00:31:42,799
What is this now?

430
00:31:42,879 --> 00:31:44,959
-We have to shut it down completely.
-No.

431
00:31:45,039 --> 00:31:48,279
It could be poisoning.
We have to shut down for 24 hours.

432
00:31:48,359 --> 00:31:50,359
No, we carry out the test.
Raise to 700.

433
00:31:50,439 --> 00:31:52,039
Of this level of performance?
The regulations...

434
00:31:52,119 --> 00:31:54,519
-Don't tell me about regulations.
-If the performance drops from 80% percent...

435
00:31:54,599 --> 00:31:56,359
-No, no, it drops from 50%.
-From 50% is even worse!

436
00:31:56,439 --> 00:31:58,919
There is nothing in the regulations about 50,
so there are none!

437
00:31:58,999 --> 00:32:02,719
Comrade Dyatlov, I'm sorry,
but what you say doesn't make any sense.

438
00:32:02,799 --> 00:32:05,039
-Increase performance.
-No.

439
00:32:06,079 --> 00:32:08,479
I won't do that,
it is not safe.

440
00:32:16,359 --> 00:32:19,599
Safety comes first. Always.

441
00:32:19,799 --> 00:32:22,319
I've been saying that for 25 years.

442
00:32:22,399 --> 00:32:26,199
That's how long I've been working here, 25 years.
Longer than you, Akimov?

443
00:32:26,319 --> 00:32:27,919
-Yes
-Much longer?

444
00:32:27,999 --> 00:32:29,399
Yes.

445
00:32:29,479 --> 00:32:33,119
And you were hanging recently
still on your mother's teats.

446
00:32:33,839 --> 00:32:36,319
When I say it's safe,
then it is safe.

447
00:32:36,399 --> 00:32:38,639
And if you see it differently,
you don't have to work here,

448
00:32:38,719 --> 00:32:41,639
and neither will you.
But not only here, not even in Kursk,

449
00:32:41,799 --> 00:32:44,239
or Ignalina, or Leningrad,
or Novovoronezh.

450
00:32:44,319 --> 00:32:47,159
You will never work anywhere again.
I'll take care of that.

451
00:32:47,239 --> 00:32:49,999
I think you realize
that I take care of it.

452
00:32:50,959 --> 00:32:52,439
Increase performance.

453
00:32:55,599 --> 00:32:57,919
I want your command
in the log...

454
00:32:58,639 --> 00:33:00,399
Increase performance.

455
00:33:14,679 --> 00:33:16,759
We'll do it together.

456
00:33:19,799 --> 00:33:21,479
I wasn't even in the room.

457
00:33:22,279 --> 00:33:23,399
What?

458
00:33:24,919 --> 00:33:28,079
I wasn't in the room,
when the power was increased.

459
00:33:28,559 --> 00:33:29,959
Where were you then,
if not there?

460
00:33:30,039 --> 00:33:31,319
Comrade Legasov!

461
00:33:31,399 --> 00:33:35,159
You are a witness, not a prosecutor.
I'm the only one asking the questions here.

462
00:33:35,679 --> 00:33:38,399
If you weren't in the room,
where were you then?

463
00:33:40,119 --> 00:33:41,559
On the toilet.

464
00:33:43,279 --> 00:33:44,919
On the toilet.

465
00:33:46,119 --> 00:33:49,079
Comrade Khomyuk has everyone present
questioned in the control room,

466
00:33:49,159 --> 00:33:51,479
their statements agree.

467
00:33:54,399 --> 00:33:57,119
"I knew
that Dyatlov's order was wrong.

468
00:33:57,199 --> 00:33:59,879
If I hadn't carried him out,
I would have been fired."

469
00:33:59,999 --> 00:34:02,999
Leonid Toptunov,
a day before his death.

470
00:34:02,999 --> 00:34:04,879
Leonid Toptunov,
a day before his death.

471
00:34:05,439 --> 00:34:07,799
No, Comrade Dyatlov,
They were in the room.

472
00:34:07,879 --> 00:34:11,399
You have arranged the performance
to increase, that's a fact.

473
00:34:18,999 --> 00:34:22,839
The court interrupts the hearing.
30 minutes.

474
00:35:04,559 --> 00:35:07,559
Do you know anything?
about this city? Chernobyl?

475
00:35:08,759 --> 00:35:10,439
Not really, no.

476
00:35:11,359 --> 00:35:14,679
Most of the people lived here
Jews and Poles.

477
00:35:14,759 --> 00:35:17,759
The Jews were killed in pogroms,
and Stalin drove out the Poles.

478
00:35:17,759 --> 00:35:19,719
The Jews were killed in pogroms,
and Stalin drove out the Poles.

479
00:35:19,799 --> 00:35:22,919
And then the Nazis came
and destroyed the rest.

480
00:35:23,319 --> 00:35:26,319
But after the war came
people still come back.

481
00:35:26,319 --> 00:35:28,399
But after the war came
people still come back.

482
00:35:29,399 --> 00:35:32,399
Even if the earth is beneath their feet
was soaked in blood, they didn't care.

483
00:35:32,399 --> 00:35:34,239
Even if the earth is beneath their feet
was soaked in blood, they didn't care.

484
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,719
Dead Jews, dead Poles,
they were strangers.

485
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,319
Dead Jews, dead Poles,
they were strangers.

486
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:46,359
Nobody thinks
that something like that would ever happen to him.

487
00:35:47,599 --> 00:35:49,439
And here we sit.

488
00:35:57,839 --> 00:35:59,359
For how much longer?

489
00:36:00,319 --> 00:36:03,959
Maybe a year.
They call it...

490
00:36:05,159 --> 00:36:08,159
They call it a "protracted illness."
It doesn't seem that long to me.

491
00:36:08,159 --> 00:36:09,199
They call it a "protracted illness."
It doesn't seem that long to me.

492
00:36:09,879 --> 00:36:13,239
Yes, you warned me
and I believed you.

493
00:36:13,319 --> 00:36:16,319
But time passed and I thought,
that I will be spared.

494
00:36:16,319 --> 00:36:17,399
But time passed and I thought,
that I will be spared.

495
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:22,599
I wasted them.
I wasted everything for nothing.

496
00:36:24,759 --> 00:36:26,519
For nothing?

497
00:36:27,399 --> 00:36:30,159
Remember the morning
of my first call?

498
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:31,759
How indifferent I was?

499
00:36:31,839 --> 00:36:34,119
I don't think much
what comes from the Kremlin,

500
00:36:34,199 --> 00:36:37,199
but as she headed
the clean-up commission entrusted to me...

501
00:36:37,199 --> 00:36:38,919
but as she headed
the clean-up commission entrusted to me...

502
00:36:38,999 --> 00:36:42,159
and they said it was nothing serious,
I believed it.

503
00:36:42,919 --> 00:36:44,439
And do you know why?

504
00:36:45,679 --> 00:36:48,279
Because you were entrusted with something?

505
00:36:48,359 --> 00:36:49,879
Yes.

506
00:36:52,159 --> 00:36:55,119
I am an insignificant man, Valeriy.

507
00:36:55,199 --> 00:36:56,999
That's always been me.

508
00:36:57,999 --> 00:37:01,399
I wanted to at some point
to be someone important.

509
00:37:02,999 --> 00:37:06,559
Instead, I always just stood
next to important people.

510
00:37:08,399 --> 00:37:11,039
There are other scientists like me.

511
00:37:11,119 --> 00:37:14,479
Any of them would have me
can replace. But you...

512
00:37:15,519 --> 00:37:18,519
Whatever we needed
whatever we asked for,

513
00:37:18,519 --> 00:37:20,399
Whatever we needed
whatever we asked for,

514
00:37:20,479 --> 00:37:23,479
Men, material, lunar vehicles?

515
00:37:23,479 --> 00:37:24,519
Men, material, lunar vehicles?

516
00:37:26,399 --> 00:37:28,799
Who else could have obtained this?

517
00:37:30,519 --> 00:37:33,599
I was left to speak
but you were listened to.

518
00:37:34,079 --> 00:37:38,079
Of all the ministers,
and all deputies,

519
00:37:38,159 --> 00:37:41,919
from the whole bunch
of docile idiots...

520
00:37:41,999 --> 00:37:45,519
sent to us by mistake
the only capable man.

521
00:37:45,599 --> 00:37:47,839
For God's sake, Boris.

522
00:37:48,679 --> 00:37:51,719
They were the most important thing of all.

523
00:38:13,359 --> 00:38:15,839
Ah, wonderful.

524
00:38:55,359 --> 00:38:57,039
Comrade Legasov.

525
00:39:09,199 --> 00:39:11,479
It is now 12:38 am.

526
00:39:11,999 --> 00:39:15,719
The reactor is almost inactive.
The reactor operators in Unit 4

527
00:39:15,799 --> 00:39:18,879
are faced with a situation
which leads directly to disaster.

528
00:39:18,959 --> 00:39:20,919
There is no way back.

529
00:39:20,999 --> 00:39:23,999
You don't know yet,
but the die is cast.

530
00:39:24,079 --> 00:39:27,079
At 30 megawatts xenon is still produced,
but none of it is burned.

531
00:39:27,079 --> 00:39:29,559
At 30 megawatts xenon is still produced,
but none of it is burned.

532
00:39:31,559 --> 00:39:33,839
The reactor is now drowning in poison.

533
00:39:33,919 --> 00:39:37,479
To make matters worse,
that the reactor is not hot enough,

534
00:39:37,559 --> 00:39:40,799
to still have enough water
to evaporate.

535
00:39:41,919 --> 00:39:45,759
The performance can be below these
circumstances can only be safely increased if

536
00:39:45,839 --> 00:39:49,359
if you go particularly slowly,
over a period of 24 hours.

537
00:39:49,439 --> 00:39:52,199
But Dyatlov wants it immediately.

538
00:39:52,279 --> 00:39:55,279
Akimov and Toptunov will not be a choice
left to decide what to do.

539
00:39:55,279 --> 00:39:56,519
Akimov and Toptunov will not be a choice
left to decide what to do.

540
00:39:56,599 --> 00:39:59,239
They start backing up
the control rods.

541
00:39:59,319 --> 00:40:03,199
Dozens at once. Only half way,
then three quarters,

542
00:40:03,279 --> 00:40:05,959
but the performance remains
yet unchanged.

543
00:40:06,039 --> 00:40:09,159
So you start with,
drive them all the way back.

544
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:12,519
There were 211 control rods
in reactor 4.

545
00:40:12,599 --> 00:40:15,799
Akimov and Toptunov
have 205 of them

546
00:40:15,959 --> 00:40:17,919
completely driven back.
you remember,

547
00:40:17,999 --> 00:40:21,439
are the control rods
the brakes of this car.

548
00:40:21,519 --> 00:40:24,519
Of 211 bars
only six remain in the core.

549
00:40:24,519 --> 00:40:28,199
Of 211 bars
only six remain in the core.

550
00:40:29,199 --> 00:40:32,199
The fuel has now cooled down,
and the negative temperature coefficient

551
00:40:32,199 --> 00:40:33,999
The fuel has now cooled down,
and the negative temperature coefficient

552
00:40:34,079 --> 00:40:36,319
no longer keeps reactivity in check.

553
00:40:36,399 --> 00:40:40,319
But even without it there is xenon poisoning
already so high,

554
00:40:40,439 --> 00:40:43,439
that the performance is now no longer possible
can raise more than 200 megawatts.

555
00:40:43,439 --> 00:40:45,119
That the performance is now no longer possible
can raise more than 200 megawatts.

556
00:40:45,199 --> 00:40:47,159
The control rods are out,

557
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:49,639
the emergency cooling system was
turned off because of the test.

558
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,719
The reactor is kept under control
now only through water and xenon.

559
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:54,399
The reactor is kept under control
now only through water and xenon.

560
00:40:54,479 --> 00:40:58,439
It's 1 a.m.
The test is about to begin.

561
00:41:31,359 --> 00:41:33,599
I'm sorry,
We don't get any more.

562
00:41:33,679 --> 00:41:36,559
It's at 200 megawatts.
Almost all the bars are outside.

563
00:41:36,639 --> 00:41:38,639
If it doesn't work anymore,
then it doesn't work anymore.

564
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:40,639
But the test requires 700.

565
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:42,959
Stolyarchuk, here we go.
Switch on pump 4.

566
00:41:43,039 --> 00:41:44,079
-No, wait...
-Stolyarchuk!

567
00:41:44,159 --> 00:41:46,719
No, we hardly have any steam now,
the turbine runs too slowly.,

568
00:41:46,799 --> 00:41:48,119
this will only distort the test result.

569
00:41:48,199 --> 00:41:50,239
-That's enough.
-And get even with more water...

570
00:41:50,319 --> 00:41:53,439
I said enough!
I know what I'm doing. Stolyarchuk!

571
00:41:58,239 --> 00:41:59,999
Main pump 4 is switched on.

572
00:42:00,079 --> 00:42:02,159
We have to warn Khodemchuk,
the pressure pipes will definitely jump.

573
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:03,719
Forget that.
Cherry tree.

574
00:42:06,359 --> 00:42:09,359
The excess pressure in the steam separators
is too low, only 5 bar.

575
00:42:09,439 --> 00:42:12,279
Then everyone helps and increases the pressure
as best as possible.

576
00:42:15,599 --> 00:42:17,119
We should cancel.

577
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,719
Put the damn thing down.
You have 15 minutes.

578
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:22,279
Put the damn thing down.
You have 15 minutes.

579
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,719
15 minutes.
And if they had had 15 days.

580
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:28,519
15 minutes.
And if they had had 15 days.

581
00:42:28,599 --> 00:42:31,199
The problem they faced
was not solvable.

582
00:42:31,279 --> 00:42:33,759
It wasn't enough power
and too much water there.

583
00:42:33,839 --> 00:42:35,559
The test couldn't be carried out at all.

584
00:42:35,639 --> 00:42:38,799
Nothing would have come of it,
but Dyatlov didn't care.

585
00:42:38,879 --> 00:42:42,039
He just wanted one
show completed test.

586
00:42:42,999 --> 00:42:45,999
Stay at 1:22 am
less than two minutes.

587
00:42:45,999 --> 00:42:47,599
Stay at 1:22 am
less than two minutes.

588
00:42:48,639 --> 00:42:51,639
Yuvchenko, a mechanical engineer,
sits in his office.

589
00:42:51,639 --> 00:42:53,079
Yuvchenko, a mechanical engineer,
sits in his office.

590
00:42:56,279 --> 00:42:59,279
Perevozchenko, the foreman
in the reactor area,

591
00:42:59,359 --> 00:43:00,959
is in the reactor hall,

592
00:43:01,039 --> 00:43:03,959
over the 1,000 tons
heavy steel reactor cover.

593
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,559
Degtyarenko and Khodemchuk,

594
00:43:08,679 --> 00:43:11,759
two circulator pump technicians,
are in the pump room.

595
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:16,119
None of them were
put into the picture via the test.

596
00:43:16,199 --> 00:43:18,839
None of them suspect
what is about to happen.

597
00:43:18,919 --> 00:43:21,919
At 1:22 and 30 seconds
Toptunov sees a report

598
00:43:21,919 --> 00:43:23,999
At 1:22 and 30 seconds
Toptunov sees a report

599
00:43:24,079 --> 00:43:27,759
the SKALA computer system,
that monitors the reactor.

600
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,719
Because there are not enough control rods
located in the core,

601
00:43:31,799 --> 00:43:35,039
the computer recommends
the shutdown of the reactor.

602
00:43:40,359 --> 00:43:43,439
Of course he says that,
He doesn't know anything about our test.

603
00:43:44,919 --> 00:43:47,919
All right, comrades. A few more minutes,
and everything is over.

604
00:43:47,919 --> 00:43:50,079
All right, comrades. A few more minutes,
and everything is over.

605
00:43:50,159 --> 00:43:51,839
Kirschenbaum, are you ready?

606
00:43:52,279 --> 00:43:54,319
We did everything right.

607
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:57,959
Oscillograph is on.

608
00:43:59,199 --> 00:44:01,839
Turbine quick-closing valve 8
is closed.

609
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,159
Turbine is in the wake.

610
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,399
1:23 and 4 seconds.

611
00:44:07,479 --> 00:44:11,079
They strain it with every decision
Reactor continues, like a slingshot,

612
00:44:11,159 --> 00:44:13,839
which never before
It was so exciting.

613
00:44:13,919 --> 00:44:16,919
Now the test begins. The pumps will
issued and it takes its course.

614
00:44:16,919 --> 00:44:18,839
Now the test begins. The pumps will
issued and it takes its course.

615
00:44:21,639 --> 00:44:24,439
The pumps do not pump water
more through the reactor.

616
00:44:24,759 --> 00:44:27,719
The uranium fuel is no longer available
throttled by cooling water,

617
00:44:27,799 --> 00:44:29,799
and no longer through control rods.

618
00:44:29,879 --> 00:44:33,239
Now the balance of power is shifting
in the other direction,

619
00:44:33,319 --> 00:44:37,199
and in the next second
the reactivity increases.

620
00:44:37,279 --> 00:44:40,839
The heat increase in the core allows
the remaining cooling water evaporates quickly.

621
00:44:40,919 --> 00:44:42,959
A steam bubble is created.

622
00:44:43,039 --> 00:44:45,559
There is no fresh cooling water
pumped up.

623
00:44:45,679 --> 00:44:48,679
Steam increases reactivity,
increases the heat,

624
00:44:48,679 --> 00:44:49,759
Steam increases reactivity,
increases the heat,

625
00:44:49,839 --> 00:44:53,719
increases steam,
increases reactivity.

626
00:44:54,479 --> 00:44:57,479
The accumulated xenon
is now being dismantled.

627
00:44:57,479 --> 00:44:58,799
The accumulated xenon
is now being dismantled.

628
00:44:58,879 --> 00:45:01,879
Performance increases...
and nothing can stop them anymore.

629
00:45:01,879 --> 00:45:04,319
Performance increases...
and nothing can stop them anymore.

630
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,839
It's 1:23 and 35 seconds.

631
00:45:11,439 --> 00:45:13,999
We have a power increase, Sasha!

632
00:45:18,839 --> 00:45:20,239
What have you done?!

633
00:45:20,319 --> 00:45:24,279
1:23 and 40 seconds.

634
00:45:31,479 --> 00:45:34,199
In every control room
every nuclear power plant in the world

635
00:45:34,279 --> 00:45:36,959
there is a button,
which only serves one purpose:

636
00:45:37,039 --> 00:45:40,479
The quick shut-off button
the chain reaction.

637
00:45:40,559 --> 00:45:43,799
In Soviet reactors
this button is called "AZ-5".

638
00:45:43,879 --> 00:45:46,879
When you press AZ-5,
all control rods retract immediately

639
00:45:46,879 --> 00:45:48,639
When you press AZ-5,
all control rods retract immediately

640
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:52,519
and the chain reaction is stalled.

641
00:45:53,319 --> 00:45:54,839
But...

642
00:46:00,599 --> 00:46:03,799
What are you waiting for, Legasov?
Tell your lies.

643
00:46:03,879 --> 00:46:06,119
Comrade Dyatlov!
This is your final warning!

644
00:46:06,199 --> 00:46:08,039
-What else?
-Jesus Christ now, Dyatlov!

645
00:46:08,119 --> 00:46:10,079
-Comrade Dyatlov!
-Legasov has already revealed it.

646
00:46:10,199 --> 00:46:13,239
He said that there was an explosion
could no longer prevent it.

647
00:46:13,319 --> 00:46:16,759
He knows something.
And she knows something too.

648
00:46:16,839 --> 00:46:20,679
Yes, I know what you are,
Valery Alexeyevich You are a liar!

649
00:46:20,759 --> 00:46:23,439
For today we have
heard enough.

650
00:46:23,519 --> 00:46:27,359
The defendants remain
in custody. The court will...

651
00:46:27,439 --> 00:46:30,439
I'm not finished yet.
I have more facts to present.

652
00:46:30,439 --> 00:46:31,559
I'm not finished yet.
I have more facts to present.

653
00:46:31,639 --> 00:46:35,359
No need, you will be out of that
Witness stand dismissed. Mr. Judge.

654
00:46:35,439 --> 00:46:39,319
The meeting is hereby adjourned.
Uh, we'll continue tomorrow with...

655
00:46:39,399 --> 00:46:41,159
Let him finish!

656
00:46:42,359 --> 00:46:43,999
Comrade Shcherbina!

657
00:46:46,359 --> 00:46:48,119
He should finish.

658
00:47:11,679 --> 00:47:14,439
Dyatlov disregarded
all regulations.

659
00:47:17,279 --> 00:47:20,559
He brought the reactor
to the brink of destruction.

660
00:47:24,639 --> 00:47:27,639
But he did it in the belief
there would be a failsafe, AZ-5.

661
00:47:27,639 --> 00:47:28,719
But he did it in the belief
there would be a failsafe, AZ-5.

662
00:47:28,799 --> 00:47:31,999
A button that turns everything off
can, but under the circumstances,

663
00:47:32,079 --> 00:47:35,119
that he created,
that didn't apply.

664
00:47:35,199 --> 00:47:38,399
Because this quick shutdown
has a fatal flaw.

665
00:47:40,399 --> 00:47:43,399
It's 1:23 and 40 seconds.
Akimov presses AZ-5.

666
00:47:43,399 --> 00:47:45,799
It's 1:23 and 40 seconds.
Akimov presses AZ-5.

667
00:47:52,919 --> 00:47:56,719
The fully retracted control rods
drive back to the core.

668
00:47:56,799 --> 00:47:59,679
The rods are made of boron,
which lowers reactivity,

669
00:47:59,759 --> 00:48:01,159
but not the tips.

670
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:04,239
The tips are made of graphite,
which accelerates reactivity.

671
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:05,639
The tips are made of graphite,
which accelerates reactivity.

672
00:48:05,999 --> 00:48:07,039
Why?

673
00:48:11,639 --> 00:48:12,759
Why?

674
00:48:14,999 --> 00:48:17,479
For the same reason,
why our reactors

675
00:48:17,559 --> 00:48:19,599
not from security containers
are covered,

676
00:48:20,279 --> 00:48:23,239
like those in the West.
For the same reason,

677
00:48:23,319 --> 00:48:26,439
why our nuclear fuel
is not cleanly enriched.

678
00:48:26,519 --> 00:48:29,359
For the same reason why we
the only manufacturers in the world

679
00:48:29,439 --> 00:48:32,759
of water-cooled,
graphite-moderated reactors

680
00:48:32,839 --> 00:48:35,439
with a positive vapor bubble coefficient.

681
00:48:36,999 --> 00:48:38,399
It's cheaper.

682
00:48:44,039 --> 00:48:47,039
The first part of the rods that is in the core
penetrates is the graphite tip.

683
00:48:47,039 --> 00:48:48,479
The first part of the rods that is in the core
penetrates is the graphite tip.

684
00:48:48,559 --> 00:48:51,559
And when that happens, it increases anyway
increasing reactor power suddenly.

685
00:48:51,559 --> 00:48:53,279
And when that happens, it increases anyway
increasing reactor power suddenly.

686
00:48:53,359 --> 00:48:56,359
The last remaining molecules
liquid water

687
00:48:56,439 --> 00:48:58,639
is evaporated in fractions of a second.

688
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:02,039
The steam expands and deforms
the channels of some control rods.

689
00:49:02,119 --> 00:49:05,239
The control rods in these channels
now stuck there.

690
00:49:05,319 --> 00:49:07,999
The graphite tips
stay stuck where they are.

691
00:49:08,079 --> 00:49:10,839
They reinforce
the chain reaction to infinity.

692
00:49:10,919 --> 00:49:14,679
Chernobyl's reactor 4
is now a nuclear bomb.

693
00:49:14,759 --> 00:49:17,599
1:23 and 42 seconds.

694
00:49:17,759 --> 00:49:21,479
Perevozchenko looks down at the
huge steel lid of the reactor

695
00:49:21,559 --> 00:49:23,559
and sees the impossible.

696
00:49:23,639 --> 00:49:27,439
The 350 kilogram closures
the control rods and fuel channels

697
00:49:27,519 --> 00:49:31,319
jump up and down.
He wants to raise the alarm in the control room.

698
00:49:31,479 --> 00:49:34,759
But the inevitable
can no longer be stopped.

699
00:49:34,839 --> 00:49:37,879
It's 1:23 and 44 seconds.

700
00:49:37,959 --> 00:49:40,999
The steam explodes
even more fuel channels.

701
00:49:41,079 --> 00:49:43,439
We don't know
how high the performance increased.

702
00:49:43,519 --> 00:49:45,399
We only know the last ad.

703
00:49:46,959 --> 00:49:49,959
Reactor 4, designed
to an output of 3,200 megawatts,

704
00:49:49,959 --> 00:49:51,399
Reactor 4, designed
to an output of 3,200 megawatts,

705
00:49:51,839 --> 00:49:55,079
now exceeds 33,000.

706
00:49:59,919 --> 00:50:03,519
The pressure in the reactor core
cannot be sustained any longer.

707
00:50:03,999 --> 00:50:06,999
And finally we're at
1:23 and 45 seconds.

708
00:50:06,999 --> 00:50:08,119
And finally we're at
1:23 and 45 seconds.

709
00:50:08,199 --> 00:50:09,839
The explosion.

710
00:50:11,199 --> 00:50:14,199
As the lid flies off the reactor,
Oxygen enters immediately.

711
00:50:14,199 --> 00:50:15,399
As the lid flies off the reactor,
Oxygen enters immediately.

712
00:50:15,479 --> 00:50:19,399
This reacts with hydrogen
and superheated graphite.

713
00:50:21,159 --> 00:50:24,119
The last link in the chain of misfortune.

714
00:50:44,919 --> 00:50:46,719
Comrade Dyatlov!

715
00:50:51,359 --> 00:50:52,799
Comrade Dyatlov!

716
00:51:03,879 --> 00:51:06,639
Nobody present
knew that night

717
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:09,679
that the emergency shutdown
how a detonator could work.

718
00:51:11,319 --> 00:51:14,319
They couldn't have known.
Because they kept it a secret from you.

719
00:51:14,319 --> 00:51:16,119
They couldn't have known.
Because they kept it a secret from you.

720
00:51:16,279 --> 00:51:19,279
Comrade Legasov, that contradicts
Your statement in Vienna.

721
00:51:19,279 --> 00:51:21,159
Comrade Legasov, that contradicts
Your statement in Vienna.

722
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:23,839
What I did in Vienna
what I said was a lie.

723
00:51:24,599 --> 00:51:27,359
I lied to her.
The whole world.

724
00:51:27,439 --> 00:51:30,719
I'm not that one
only keeper of secrets. There are many.

725
00:51:31,839 --> 00:51:33,799
We followed orders.

726
00:51:34,479 --> 00:51:37,759
From the KGB, from the Central Committee.
And in the Soviet Union

727
00:51:37,839 --> 00:51:40,999
There are still 16 reactors left
with the same fatal flaws.

728
00:51:41,079 --> 00:51:43,159
Three of them are currently in operation,

729
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:45,719
less than 20 kilometers
from here in Chernobyl.

730
00:51:45,799 --> 00:51:48,159
Professor Legasov,
if that's what you want,

731
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:50,519
that the Soviet state in
the accident in some way

732
00:51:50,599 --> 00:51:52,439
is responsible for
so I have to warn you:

733
00:51:52,519 --> 00:51:54,159
You are treading on thin ice.

734
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:57,799
I've been standing on thin ice for a long time,
we're all into it right now.

735
00:51:57,919 --> 00:52:01,119
Because of our secrets
and our lies.

736
00:52:01,199 --> 00:52:03,599
That shows
who we actually are.

737
00:52:03,679 --> 00:52:07,479
If the truth displeases us,
then we lie and lie,

738
00:52:07,559 --> 00:52:10,559
until we no longer know
what is true. But it doesn't disappear.

739
00:52:10,559 --> 00:52:12,359
Until we no longer know
what is true. But it doesn't disappear.

740
00:52:14,199 --> 00:52:17,199
Every lie we tell
comes at the expense of the truth.

741
00:52:17,199 --> 00:52:18,559
Every lie we tell
comes at the expense of the truth.

742
00:52:20,319 --> 00:52:24,039
Received at some point
we get the receipt for it.

743
00:52:27,519 --> 00:52:30,519
This is how an explosion occurs
in an RBMK reactor.

744
00:52:30,519 --> 00:52:32,159
This is how an explosion occurs
in an RBMK reactor.

745
00:52:36,039 --> 00:52:37,359
Lie.

746
00:54:36,639 --> 00:54:39,639
Valeriy Alexeyevich Legasov,
son of Alexei Legasov,

747
00:54:39,639 --> 00:54:42,199
Valeriy Alexeyevich Legasov,
son of Alexei Legasov,

748
00:54:42,279 --> 00:54:45,239
Known for his
unconditional ideological loyalty.

749
00:54:45,879 --> 00:54:47,599
But that's yours
certainly conscious.

750
00:54:47,679 --> 00:54:48,719
Yes.

751
00:54:49,999 --> 00:54:53,279
As a student you had
a leadership position at Komsomol,

752
00:54:53,359 --> 00:54:55,559
the communist youth.
Correctly?

753
00:54:56,199 --> 00:54:58,479
-You already know that...
-Answer the question.

754
00:54:58,559 --> 00:54:59,919
Yes.

755
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:04,719
In the Kurchatov Institute
After all, you were a party secretary.

756
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:05,919
In the Kurchatov Institute
After all, you were a party secretary.

757
00:55:06,079 --> 00:55:08,319
There they talked
against the promotion

758
00:55:08,399 --> 00:55:10,079
Jewish scientist.

759
00:55:14,679 --> 00:55:15,719
Yes.

760
00:55:16,359 --> 00:55:18,959
To address Kremlin officials
to pander.

761
00:55:24,199 --> 00:55:26,759
You are one of us, Legasov.

762
00:55:27,919 --> 00:55:30,359
I can do whatever I want with you.

763
00:55:31,079 --> 00:55:34,799
<i>But actually all I want is
that you know that I know this.</i>

764
00:55:35,039 --> 00:55:37,279
You are not brave.

765
00:55:38,079 --> 00:55:40,399
You're not a hero either.

766
00:55:41,199 --> 00:55:44,559
Just a dying man,
who lost his temper.

767
00:55:44,639 --> 00:55:47,639
I know who I am,
and what I did.

768
00:55:47,639 --> 00:55:48,679
I know who I am,
and what I did.

769
00:55:50,319 --> 00:55:53,119
In a just world
I would be shot for lying

770
00:55:53,199 --> 00:55:55,399
but not for this,
not for the truth.

771
00:55:56,119 --> 00:55:59,119
Scientists and their stupid madness,
to get to the bottom of things.

772
00:55:59,119 --> 00:56:01,519
Scientists and their stupid madness,
to get to the bottom of things.

773
00:56:01,599 --> 00:56:04,599
When the bullet hits your skull,
what role does the why play then?

774
00:56:04,599 --> 00:56:05,879
When the bullet hits your skull,
what role does the why play then?

775
00:56:13,159 --> 00:56:16,119
Nobody gets shot, Legasov.

776
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:19,519
The whole world
saw you in Vienna.

777
00:56:19,599 --> 00:56:23,159
It would be embarrassing
To shoot her now. And for what?

778
00:56:24,039 --> 00:56:27,199
The prosecutor will
Do not allow your statement today.

779
00:56:27,279 --> 00:56:30,279
She won't be in the press
be spread. It never existed.

780
00:56:30,279 --> 00:56:31,879
She won't be in the press
be spread. It never existed.

781
00:56:32,999 --> 00:56:35,999
No, you will live,
as long as your condition allows it.

782
00:56:35,999 --> 00:56:37,519
No, you will live,
as long as your condition allows it.

783
00:56:37,599 --> 00:56:40,719
But not as a scientist.
This is over.

784
00:56:41,319 --> 00:56:44,319
You keep your title, and your office...

785
00:56:44,319 --> 00:56:45,399
You keep your title, and your office...

786
00:56:46,199 --> 00:56:49,199
But no tasks
no powers, no friends.

787
00:56:49,199 --> 00:56:50,559
But no tasks
no powers, no friends.

788
00:56:50,639 --> 00:56:54,319
Nobody will talk to you.
Nobody will listen to you.

789
00:56:56,119 --> 00:57:00,039
other men,
of less format...

790
00:57:00,759 --> 00:57:04,159
will be the laurels
for your services.

791
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:06,399
Your legacy is
now their legacy.

792
00:57:06,479 --> 00:57:09,799
You'll live long enough
to see this.

793
00:57:12,599 --> 00:57:14,919
What role did it have?
Shcherbina involved?

794
00:57:14,999 --> 00:57:17,959
No. He didn't know
what I was going to say.

795
00:57:19,199 --> 00:57:22,119
What role did it have?
Khomyuk on the matter?

796
00:57:22,399 --> 00:57:25,959
No. She didn't know either.

797
00:57:27,519 --> 00:57:30,519
After everything you did today
said and done...

798
00:57:30,599 --> 00:57:33,599
if it were ironic, you would me
lying to you at this very moment.

799
00:57:33,599 --> 00:57:36,039
If it were ironic, you would me
lying to you at this very moment.

800
00:57:38,799 --> 00:57:41,399
I would think a man
with your experience recognize a lie,

801
00:57:41,479 --> 00:57:43,319
when he hears them.

802
00:57:46,599 --> 00:57:50,239
You will neither
ever see or speak to them again.

803
00:57:50,999 --> 00:57:53,999
You will never again too
just say a word about Chernobyl.

804
00:57:53,999 --> 00:57:55,079
You will never again too
just say a word about Chernobyl.

805
00:57:55,719 --> 00:57:58,479
They become so irrelevant
be for your environment,

806
00:57:58,559 --> 00:58:01,559
that no one cares about it after your death
will remember that you ever lived.

807
00:58:01,559 --> 00:58:03,719
That after your death no one cares
will remember that you ever lived.

808
00:58:08,279 --> 00:58:09,999
And if I refuse?

809
00:58:13,119 --> 00:58:16,199
Why worry about it?
What if it never happens?

810
00:58:17,359 --> 00:58:20,719
"Why worry about it,
If it never happens."

811
00:58:21,439 --> 00:58:23,119
That fits perfectly.

812
00:58:23,519 --> 00:58:25,999
Let's print this
but on our money.

813
00:59:32,999 --> 00:59:36,039
to be a scientist
means to be naive.

814
00:59:36,719 --> 00:59:39,439
We're so caught up
from our search for truth,

815
00:59:39,519 --> 00:59:43,479
that we completely overlook how few
are interested in her at all.

816
00:59:43,719 --> 00:59:46,319
But there is always a truth...

817
00:59:46,399 --> 00:59:49,599
Whether we see them or not.
Whether we want to see them or not.

818
00:59:49,679 --> 00:59:52,479
The truth doesn't matter
what we need or want.

819
00:59:52,559 --> 00:59:55,559
She doesn't care
Governments, ideologies and religions.

820
00:59:55,559 --> 00:59:56,799
She doesn't care
Governments, ideologies and religions.

821
00:59:57,759 --> 01:00:00,919
It will last forever
lurking for us.

822
01:00:00,999 --> 01:00:03,999
And that's ultimately it
the gift of Chernobyl.
