Anatoly Sitnikov: You don't.
Dyatlov: Then what the fuck are you talking about?
Sitnikov: I... [clears throat] I walked around the exterior of building 4. I think there's graphite on the ground in the rubble.
Dyatlov: You didn't see graphite.
Sitnikov: I did.
Dyatlov: You didn't. YOU DIDN'T! Because it's NOT THERE!
Nikolai Fomin: What, are you suggesting the core... what? Exploded?
Sitnikov: [almost a whisper] Yes.
Fomin: Sitnikov, you're a nuclear engineer. So am I. So please tell me how an RBMK reactor core explodes. Not a meltdown, an explosion. I'd love to know.
Sitnikov: I can't.
Fomin: Are you stupid?
Sitnikov: No.
Fomin: Then why can't you?
Sitnikov: I... [stammers] I don't see how it could explode. [Fomin looks satisfied] But it did.
Dyatlov: [pounds the table] Enough! I'll go up to the vent block roof. From there, you can look right down into reactor building 4. I'll see it with my own... with my own eyes. [vomits on the table] I apologize. [collapses]
Anatoly Dyatlov, Chernobyl, Miniseries: 1:23:45
That series is amazing. I will be haunted until the day I die from watching that. Everyone should see it. Don’t think our government here is any different (except President Trump...and that’s why the establishment hates him).
