Sitnikov was born on January 20, 1940 in the Soviet Union.As an adult he worked at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine.

His body was never recovered and is entombed in the nuclear reactor's debris.[14][15]. Saying "no" or questioning and order is something you just dont do. [7] Dosimetrist Samoilenko reported that radiation levels in the lefthand and central sections of the control room were 500-800 μR/s (micro-Roentgen per second), while readings were off the charts (over 1000 μR/s or 3.6 Roentgen per hour) on the righthand side of the control room. ALEXANDER KAY S.P. [11] Also during the night, Dyatlov and Yuri Tregub went to survey the plant from the outside. But this guy apparently died of a "pulmonary edema" instead. Akimov asked Palamarchuk to look for Gorbachenko and then rescue Sashenok as the communication with the dosimetry room was cut. [22] Plant engineers Alexei Ananenko, Valeri Bespalov, and Boris Baranov wore diving equipment and entered the reservoir tanks below the burning reactor, an area that had become filled with firefighting water and coolant water, to locate and open release valves to drain the water. The firefighter with the pregnant wife...he dies but the baby later dies from heart failure and cirrhosis of the liver. His name was Anatoly Sitnikov.

Kudryavtsev and Proskuryakov, the SIUR trainees from other shifts, were present to watch Toptunov. During the accident in April 1986, Sitnikov examined the power station’s exploded fourth reactor, receiving a lethal dose of radiation. It'd be interesting to ask Craig Mazin whether this is based on a real account or whether he fabricated it. After Dyatlov left, Fomin ordered Sitnikov, his replacement, to climb to the roof of unit C and survey the reactor; Sitnikov obeyed and received a fatal radiation dose there; at 10 a.m., he returned and reported to Fomin and Bryukhanov that the reactor was destroyed. He then returned to search for his comrades. Yuvchenko, together with the foreman Yuri Tregub, ran out of the building and saw half of the building gone and the reactor emitting a blue ionized air glow. He was threatened that his family will be executed on the spot if he didn't do this "completely futile task", okay? It was at this scene I knew I was hooked.

The coolant started boiling in the reactor, and the reactor power slowly increased. She states that he called from the plant and told her that he'd inspected the rooms around the core, and was now feeling awful and throwing up.

The English translation of this document was rough (note that the title itself should probably be “Trial of Chernobyl Disaster” or “Trial About the Chernobyl Disaster”), so I took the liberty of improving the English translation a bit. Dyatlov ran to the control room of Block 3 and instructed Rogozhkin to shut down reactor 3, overriding the latter's objections that Bryukhanov's permission was needed. Maryin sent the message further up the chain of command, to Frolyshev, who then called Vladimir Dolgikh. ...

Brazhnik, the senior turbine machinist operator, ran into the control room to report fire in the turbine hall. Kurguz was shortly afterwards evacuated by an ambulance; aware of dangers of radiation contamination, Genrikh took a shower and changed his clothes. Assisted with assessing damages to the reactor. Significantly higher values were noted above the reactor itself, above the breach in the roof, from which tons of radioactive substances were erupted into the atmosphere. Viktor Bryukhanov, the plant manager, arrived at 2:30 a.m. Akimov reported a serious radiation accident but intact reactor, fires in the process of being extinguished, and a second emergency water pump being readied to cool the reactor. [15] His wife Lyudmilla had been evacuated before the burial and was not there. Perevozchenko led Dyatlov and Aleksandr Yuvchenko on a brief and unsuccessful search for Khodemchuk, in corridors where the 1000 μR/s dosimeters maxed out. The no-face guy was the one down in the water turning off all the pumps with the other guy (who the lady interviewed at the hospital). Archived. Anatoly Sitnikov is on Facebook. We’re taking measures to ensure a steady flow of water through the core. On 28 April 1986, three men knowingly took on a likely suicide mission to prevent a steam explosion.
