FWIW, it's my opinion that they chose British accents because they're foreign "enough" and it is much easier on the ears than a Russian accent.
If they're going for "realistic" it would be in Russian Subtitled in English, but that drives audiences away. So what good is a Russian accent if you have already dumped "realistic". Watch the American's. Russian accents are harsh. I didn't mind there and wouldn't mind here, but I think it is intentional. |

I personally don't mind subtitles, especially if it's a really, really good movie, like Pan's Labyrinth. Watching that, eventually I didn't even think it. But I understand that's not for everybody. |

It's a joint production with Sky, a British telecom. That would be my guess for the accents.

Sorry I told you.
Excellent documentary on YouTube about it. The part about the class of grade school girls swimming in the pond is horrifying. |

I remember watching a B horror movie set inside the place. It was pretty scary and entertaining. Have no idea the name of it.

A group of young tourists (Ingrid Bolsø Berdal, Jonathan Sadowski, Devin Kelley), hoping for an adventure off the beaten path, hires an extreme-tour guide. In spite of warnings, the tour guide takes the sightseers to the town of Pripyat, Ukraine, once home to workers at the nearby Chernobyl nuclear power plant but abandoned after the 1986 nuclear disaster. After briefly exploring the ghost town, the tourists find themselves stranded -- and worse, they are not alone.

Just watched it and it was really good. Assuming it’s accurate that people in the town really did think nothing of it that really shows how in the dark they were about knowledge of the plant and potential dangers.
I remember watching the River Monsters episode where Jeremy Wade went fishing in there and he was surprised how there were fish but when they tested them they were definitely stunted in growth and showed radioactive results but were otherwise fine. |

Thought of this scene every time they were discussing the possibility or certainty that the core had exploded.

I hear you. I do understand, however, the disbelief that the core could have "blown up" and be "gone", in that sense. I'm no engineer but I have no understanding of how that is possible, and they have focused on it -- including the guy who eventually suicides clearly being brought in to explain how those types of cores work -- that I'm expecting a very good explanation around why that was not thought to be possible, but apparently is what happened (in some sense, anyway). I'm ALL IN on this series, and partly because of exactly what is perplexing the engineers that are in disbelief. I read quite a bit about Fukushima Daichi when it happened, but not that much on Chernobyl, so it's very interesting to me to see how it all developed etc., and i also hope they stay true to actual events with limited "dramatic license" bullshit.

A nuclear plant hasn't been built in the US in decades, and never will be again. The local, regional and national political headwinds are too great.
