It has been interesting to see the show. I have no idea what the real equipment looked like, but the protective suits they were sure look the part of a Soviet equipment. It is just 100% typical that the only dosimeters or Geiger counters they had were the one that read up to 3.2 and pegged out, so they reported, a 3.2 level. The "good" meters were locked up in a safe, and over a day after the accident, when they finally used one and saw the levels, they knew the issue was really bad. And the leaders kept sending men to "go have a look" and report back. Just getting that close was a fatal does of radiation.
