One of my thoughts when I posted the Valery Alekseyevich Legasov quote the other day was its relevance today. The night of the accident Dyatlov, Fomin and Bryukhanov denied anything serious had happened at all, that the radiation was at 3.6 R/h (36 mSv/h) and that it had been a hydrogen explosion.
Did it change anything? No. Radiation was still at around 20,000 R/h (200 Sv/h = 200,000 mSv/h) in the worst hit areas, and the nature of the accident was still an
open core breach and meltdown.
