About Anatoly Dyatlov
Anatoly Stepanovich Dyatlov (Russian: Анатолий Степанович Дятлов; 3 March 1931 – 13 December 1995) was a Soviet nuclear engineer who was the deputy chief engineer for the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. He supervised the safety test which resulted in the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, for which he served time in prison as he was blamed for not following the safety protocols. He was released due to health concerns in 1990, and died in 1995 at the age of 64, most likely attributed to radiation exposure. Some have theorized that this accident was an explosion in the reactor of the docked submarine K-389, which Dyatlov may have been a first responder to. From prison, Dyatlov wrote letters trying to explain RBMK reactor flaws he had discovered, as well as to restore his and the other operators' reputations. Dyatlov's memoirs were recorded in 1994, a year before his death.
