"Did you tell him the real situation here? Did you tell him what the explosion of reactor No.4 reactor means?" Besnova asked.
"The explosion of the reactor? That's impossible. Nothing like this has ever happened before. The reactor is not an atomic bomb. How could it explode?" Boulihanov shook his head.
"Then how do you explain the graphite fragments on the ground?"
"I don't know. There is still some graphite in storage at the incomplete Reactor No.5. Maybe it came from there," Boulihanov quibbled.
"Then why did you suggest to Shelbina that he should evacuate the residents of Pripyat?" Besnova continued coldly, "Is it because of a voice in your heart telling you that it wasn't the water tank that exploded but the reactor itself? You don't believe your own nonsense, do you?"
