Why did I see graphiteon the roof? Graphite is onlyfound in the core, where it's used asa neutron flux moderator. Correct? Fomin, why did the DeputyChairman see graphite on the roof? Well, that... that can't be. Comrade Shcherbina,my apologies, but graphite... that's not possible. Perhaps you saw burnt concrete. Now there you made a mistake, because I may not know muchabout nuclear reactors, but I know a lot about concrete. - Comrade, I assure you...- I understand. You think Legasov is wrong. How shall we prove it? Our high-range dosimeterjust arrived. We could cover one of ourtrucks with lead shielding, mount the dosimeteron the front

Why did I see graphite on the roof
00:00:03.792 --> 00:00:05.917
Graphite is only found in the core
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:09.458
where it's used as a neutron flux moderator
00:00:09.542 --> 00:00:10.959
Correct
00:00:11.917 --> 00:00:15.375
Fomin why did the Deputy Chairman see graphite on the roof
00:00:16.625 --> 00:00:18.417
Well that that can't be
00:00:19.291 --> 00:00:21.959
Comrade Shcherbina my apologies but graphite
00:00:22.041 --> 00:00:23.025
that's not possible
00:00:23.333 --> 00:00:25.583
Perhaps you saw burnt concrete
00:00:25.667 --> 00:00:27.458
Now there you made a mistake
00:00:27.542 --> 00:00:30.166
because I may not know much about nuclear reactors
00:00:30.025 --> 00:00:31.875
but I know a lot about concrete
00:00:32.709 --> 00:00:35.208
Comrade I assure you I understand
00:00:36.997 --> 00:00:38.667
You think Legasov is wrong
00:00:38.075 --> 00:00:40.709
How shall we prove it
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.025
Our high range dosimeter just arrived
00:00:45.333 --> 00:00:48.291
We could cover one of our trucks with lead shielding
00:00:48.375 --> 00:00:50.709
mount the dosimeter on the front
