      Those are all quotes from the Soviets during the event.

      Quote from the TV drama script being referenced: Valery Legasov : Yes, 3.6 roentgen, which, by the way, is not the equivalent of one chest X-ray, but rather 400 chest X-rays. That number has been bothering me for a different reason, though. It's also the maximum reading on low-limit dosimeters. They gave us the number they had. I think the true number is much, much higher. If I'm right, this fireman was holding the equivalent of 4 million chest X-rays in his hand.

      It's not 3 roentgen. It's 15,000. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGdKJWflEms https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGdKJWflEms reply
