The mantra of this episode is: if I don't laugh, I'll scream!

I work on nuclear powered vessels for the U.S. Navy and was at one point in the nuclear program, meaning that I worked on reactor components and related materials as part of my work. Contrary to popular belief and what this show seems to depict, people who have been "irradiated" and suffered damage from radioactive material are generally not a threat to others health or safety. People can only incur damage from radioactive material, including particles and materials which have been contaminated with radioactive particles (e.g. radioactive particles in water, in air, on clothing, etc.). Although the damage to them was already done, once the firefighters were decontaminated of radioactive particles, they should have been safe to treat and physically interact with, posing no risk to others around them. It is certainly possible that perhaps this information was not widely available and not common medical knowledge at the time of this incident. Or perhaps the need to quarantine the firefighters was for their protection since the severe amount of radiological damage they experienced would likely have left them with severely compromised immune systems.

Hey Teegan. IN reality, her and her baby were never in harms way being near him. This is what the show gets wrong and gets played up for drama. The plastic tarp is there to keep HIM safe from her as his immune system is non existent. Her even being near him him would potentially kill him. Once somebody is decontaminated, they are no longer a threat from radiation. Radiation does not spread like a virus just because you had it. She can be next to him as long as she wanted to. So really she is the one who selfishly put his life in danger by being behind the tarp depicted in the show. That is not how this happened in real life which leads to my next point... Sadly, this is the part of the show that, the real Numidia Ignatenko likeness and her husband this is based from; she actually sued HBO for using their likeness without permission, and its still an ongoing court case to this day. The real Numidia received lots of abuse from fans of this show going after her about "how selfish she was to go behind the tarp risking your babies life like that" when in real life none of the doctors she was with, nor her actually knew the affects of radiation, but the show purposely makes it a huge point and plays it up like she is selfishly putting her and her baby in harms way. Her baby being in danger was more to due to with being around chernobyl itself for a extended period of time before evacuation. In reality she was 100% safe being around her husband.

Thanks for the reaction. I liked your outro. You said you didn't cry this episode. I noticed. But you still had the feelings going. I am glad you are getting well. To convert from C to F, you multiply by 1.8 and then add 32. 50C –> 50(1.8) + 32 = 122F Your approximation of multiplying by 2, and then adding 20, is close.

I hate that you are having such a rough time with the illnesses in the 1st couple of months of this year. Hopefully, things will even out and you will have some great months to make up for it. Glad you had a small break to be able to go to the award show last month so you could at least enjoy that. Still doing a great job even while having to work around the illnesses!

This episode was 50% frustration and 50% heartbreak. Frustration stemming from the astounding lack of empathy from the powers that be for the victims of the accident and those that were chosen to help in the recovery. And that’s where the heartbreak comes in. I know a lot of this was added for dramatic effect, but it still just makes you want to hit something. I just read that the fear of the possibility of radiation poisoning actually did more damage and killed more people than the actual known instances of radiation poisoning from this tragedy. The toll on the mental health of thousands in the areas surrounding Chernobyl was astounding, stemming from the fear of exposure to the radiation or direct contact with someone who had radiation poisoning, even though radiation sickness is not contagious. And another study from UCLA indicated that “incorrect advice from physicians regarding the relationship between maternal radiation exposure from Chernobyl and birth defects resulted in more than one million unnecessary abortions in the Soviet Union and Europe.”

As Teegan said in a previous episode, the state is everything, so all comrades are supposed to do their duty for the state. Chernobyl was one of the things that helped push towards the end of the Soviet Union. It had become too vast, it was skint, there were countries looking to get out of it, and people like Yeltsin were coming through who wanted to modernise it.

Ziro the Hutt

Still, she and the others were ignorant of the danger all around them. Her less so as she never went to see the "spectacle" and stayed slightly back. It was still a silly thing to do, as if he were contagious that way, she wouldn't be any the wiser the way she was carrying on.

Lots of the personal details like the fireman’s wife are pulled from the book ‘Voices from Chernobyl’. Certain things, like the wife being told ‘he’s something else’ are entirely pulled from that book. Along with lots of other anecdotes. It’s a Nobel prize winning book and worth a read if you are curious. However because they pulled from that, the odds of Numidia winning a law suit are unlikely. :/

Alex Ferns, what a legend! Come a long way from a soap opera where he played an infamous wifebeater! Will hopefully see him soon (though hopefully not back in the buff!), along with Stellan Skarsgaard (Boris), and a few of the others in this episode, when Andor season 2 comes out late April (thats going to be a heck of a month as Last Of Us season 2 starts then also!!). Yes thats Barry Keoghn, whose career has gone from strength to strength due to stuff like this and taking good parts. He plays a prominent role in the next ep. The firefighters wife was naturally wanting to give him some solace before his painful death, and though she isn't in as much danger as the show suggests, it was still a silly thing to do; but then when you love a person you want to do anything for them, especially in their final hours. Her acting throughout is great, as the weight of what he's going through hits, especially going into that final scene with the extreme close up of her face as she breaks down. I love Legasov not hesitating to argue with Gorbachev, probably the most powerful man in the world then, about the evacuation radius not being large enough. He shows some gall again later, going against that scary KGB head; that actor was terrifying in that role, he played it so well. The makeup of the irradiated Chernobyl staff and firefighters, was superb and horrifying, as their bodies are literally falling apart, and there is nothing to be done except perhaps take a bullet to get it over with quicker. There was a Japanese guy who got a huge dose of radiation after a test with nuclear fuel went awry, and was kept alive deliberately for 83 days (!!!!) as his body broke down. Can only imagine the suffering he went through, as said, even morphine couldn't be administered.

I don't think you are going to make it through episode 4 and not because you are ill.

The coffins sat on wooden rails, there was a gap between the dirt and the bottom of the metal coffin. The cement would be able to flow underneath
