Kovitz felt physically and mentally exhausted.

Even before dawn, almost all of the first experts who arrived were woken up by the phone. They hurriedly dressed and rushed to gather at the airport. On the way, they studied the report submitted by Bryuhanov and Fomin, discussing how to restore the power supply to the nuclear power plant as soon as possible.

However, when they arrived at the scene of the explosion, they realized that the severity of the problem was far greater than they had imagined. The previous plans were all based on the reactor being safe and sound. Now, they were all useless, so they had to collect information and find new solutions.

Before Scherbina arrived, the experts had argued for a long time about how to put out the fire in the reactor. After that, they waited for him to take a helicopter to the reactor to inspect it before returning to the DW office and continuing the previous debate.
