Chernobyl (Chernobyl) (2019) (№ 372948)

- What will happen to our children?
- What? With divers?
- With divers, firemen, those that were in the hardware room. Exactly how they will be affected by radiation?
Some of them were so badly irradiated that the radiation will break down their cell structure. The skin will blister, become red and then turn black. Then begins the latent period. The symptoms go away, it would seem that the patient is recovering, he is already healthy, but it's not. It usually only lasts a day or two.
- Go ahead.
- Then it becomes evident that the cells are damaged, the spinal cord dies, dies the immune system, organs and soft tissues begin to decompose. Arteries and veins burst, become like a sieve, so it is impossible even to enter the morphine and the pain unimaginable. And then after three days or three weeks death. That's what happens with those guys.
How about us?
- Well, we... we irradiated all the time, but not as much so the radiation won't kill the cells, but it is enough to damage DNA. So, over time, cancer. Or aplastic anemia. In any case - we're gonna die.
- Then, in some ways we got off easy.
