yeah - it's an interesting narrative choice, since there's some drama/etc. you could extract from how the test was conducted leading up to the explosion a track from the score's been released: https://open.spotify.com/track/093xBiIj8cSuWL3Dof7HOr?si=VO3bt4J1T_O-mygrwyCFeA

Minrad posted:Imagine a big cube (of graphite) with a bunch of tubes running through it like a block of swiss cheese. Some of these tubes have radioactive material, which give off heat as they radiate, and when their radiation hits the other radioactive rods those rods give off even more radiation. This is the "chain reaction" of a nuclear reactor. When it happens very fast, you have a bomb. When it happens very slowly and in a controlled fashion, it just gives off a lot of heat, which is good for boiling water to run a turbine generator like any other power plant. oi https://i.imgur.com/iaH0I15.gifv

pigdog posted:This might be where the number is coming from, but I still think it's a translation error and they were talking about the steam explosion creating pollution comparable to a hydrogen bomb in the megaton range, rather than actually exploding with such force. Unfortunately the narrator is speaking over that person, it's not possible to verify what it was that he said, verbatim. yeah that interpretation is the only thing that makes any sense to me

CeeJee posted:The funeral of the firemen was way more of an ordeal then show, I guess they did not want to pile up even more misery on poor Lyudmila. The sight of the body being put into layers of protection and the quote about him belonging to the state would have been very powerful. loving hell: quote:They couldn't get shoes on him because his feet had swelled up. They had to cut up the formal wear, too, because they couldn't get it on him, there wasn't a whole body to put it on. It was all — wounds. The last two days in the hospital — I'd lift his arm, and meanwhile the bone is shaking, just sort of dangling, the body has gone away from it. Pieces of his lungs, of his liver, were coming out of his mouth. He was choking on his internal organs. I'd wrap my hand in a bandage and put it in his mouth, take out all that stuff. It's impossible to talk about. It's impossible to write about. And even to live through. It was all mine.

Skippy McPants posted:That's a good cut. The episode walks a razor-thin line between poignant and gratuitous, leaving in a scene like that would have shattered the tension. I can't find it now (maybe it's in this thread earlier - can't recall), but there was some interview with a liquidator I saw recently where the person described feeling like he still has never left the roof after those two minutes, even though he survived it. The episode conveyed that intense feeling of traumatic stress well I thought.

Chef Boyardeez Nuts posted:So did Legasov's knowledge of the unearthed report mean that when people were dunking on him in episode 1 for his inability to explain how the explosion was possible he knew how but didn't say because he knew it was embarrassing for the state? I think in real-life and the show, at that point Legasov hadn't connected the reactivity rise with a SCRAM to the event yet.
