- [Akimov's voice slowly fades in immediately after the explosion]
- Alexandr Akimov: Comrade Dyatlov! Comrade Dyatlov! Comrade Dyatlov! Comrade Dyatlov! Comrade Dyatlov!
- Anatoly Dyatlov: What just happened?
- Alexandr Akimov: I don't know.
- [Brazhnik runs in]
- Brazhnik: There's a fire in the turbine hall.
- Anatoly Dyatlov: The turbine hall. The control system tank. Hydrogen.
- [he looks at Akimov and Toptunov]
- Anatoly Dyatlov: You and Toptunov, you morons blew the tank.
- Leonid Toptunov: No, that's not...
- Anatoly Dyatlov: This is an emergency, everyone stay calm. Our first priority is -
- [Perevozchenko runs in]
- Perevozchenko: It's exploded!
- Anatoly Dyatlov: We know. Akimov, are we cooling the reactor core?
- Alexandr Akimov: We shut it down, but the control rods are still not... they're not all the way in, I disengaged the clutch...
- Anatoly Dyatlov: All right, I'll disconnect the servos from the standby console.
- [he looks at Stolyarchuk and Kirschenbaum]
- Anatoly Dyatlov: You two, get the backup pumps running. We need water moving through the core, that is all that matters.
- Perevozchenko: There IS no core! It exploded, the core exploded!
- [everyone freezes, suddenly afraid]
- Anatoly Dyatlov: He's in shock, get him out of here.
- Perevozchenko: The lid is off. The stack is burning. I saw it.
- Anatoly Dyatlov: [picking up a phone and dialing] You're confused, RBMK reactor cores don't explode. Akimov!
- Leonid Toptunov: [sotto voce, to Akimov] Sasha...
- Alexandr Akimov: Don't worry, we did everything right. Something... something strange has happened.
- Leonid Toptunov: Do you taste metal?
- Anatoly Dyatlov: Akimov!
- Alexandr Akimov: Comrade Perevozchenko, what you're saying is physically impossible, the core can't explode. It has to be the tank.
- Anatoly Dyatlov: We're wasting time. Let's go!
- [he hangs the phone and heads for the door]
- Anatoly Dyatlov: Get the hydrogen out of the generators and pump water into the core.
- Brazhnik: What about the fire?
- Anatoly Dyatlov: [annoyed] Call the fire brigade.
- [he walks out]
- Perevozchenko: It exploded. The core exploded.
- Anatoly Dyatlov: He's in shock. Get him out of here.
- Perevozchenko: The lid is off. The stack is burning. I saw it.
- Anatoly Dyatlov: You're confused. RBMK reactor cores don't explode.
