My husband and I decided to try this show out. I know next to nothing about nuclear power and the Chernobyl accident. I found this an important learning experience. My husband served 13 years in the US Navy as a submariner nuclear operator. As a part of nuclear school they study the Chernobyl accident: what went wrong, what mistakes were made, what good decisions were made, how they solved the problem and most importantly, what changes were made in light of the tragedy. According to my husband, this show is extremely accurate, very well done and true to the historical records and survivor testimony.
