    Chernobyl dramatizes the story of the April 1986 nuclear plant disaster which occurred in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, Soviet Union, telling the stories of the people who caused the disaster and those who responded to it.[6] The series depicts some of the lesser-known stories of the disaster, including the efforts of the firefighters who were the first responders on the scene, volunteers, and teams of miners who dug a critical tunnel under Reactor 4.
    The miniseries is based in large part on the recollections of Pripyat locals, as told by Belarusian Nobel laureate Svetlana Alexievich in her book Voices from Chernobyl.

Depends on how long they were there and how close to the reactor they were. Honestly, 64 wasn't far off from the average life expectancy in the USSR then and literally 1/3rd of people will die from cancer, but anyway, some people survived longer.

    This scene is made even more poignant by the uncanny speed of the billowing smoke coming out of the reactor.

      When it's that hot and that large - graphite burns very, very well - there will be an awful lot of entrained air that's sucked in at the sides and helps loft the smoke. It would have been much hotter down there than some ordinary wood fire.

The same roof that was so irradiated that noone, even in a full rad suit, was allowed to spend any more than 90 seconds on it? And, this was right after the explosion, the point when the radiation was at its absolute strongest.
    So.... without any protective gear, both Sitnikov and the solider escorting him were probably already dead within... I dunno... maybe 20 seconds of them entering it, regardless if they were to look directly at the core or not.

He inspected the buildings around Units 3 & 4, but there is no actual report or evidence that he was on the roof. Regardless, he got a lethal dose and suffered a horrible death along with many others.

    Poor bastard. It's basically a death sentence.

    The behavior of so many of these apparatchiks after they signed his death warrant is just infuriating. The guy's face is literally peeling off as he's sitting there knowing he's gonna die and they're still trying to f*cking argue with him about what's real.

    I would have at least told the soldier that if we go anywhere near that roof, we'll both be dead in a few days/weeks. Maybe the fear of dying horribly and needlessly might sway his loyalty to the Party.
