At nuclear power plants, all incoming and outgoing calls to the stationary telephones of the power unit control rooms are recorded. If necessary, telephone conversations are decrypted and recorded in the log of operational communications.
This happened on the night of the Chornobyl accident on April 26, 1986. However, the text of these negotiations was “Classified” until recently. Most likely, the tape recordings of the conversations were deciphered by KGB specialists who, not having known the plant terminology, often not having understood whose voice they were hearing at the moment and through the noise and interruptions in communication, tried to put everything they heard on paper.
The result of such work somewhat distorts the reliability of the data and sometimes contradicts logic, but we will try to recreate the chronology of events according to the records.
