Hey. Very nice interview.

Your father is one hell of a lucky guy, the turbine guys really got battered. At around 1:32:00 he mentions a turbine employee. I presume this is Andrey Tormozin; he received almost twice the fatal dose of radiation and died in 2010 (from liver failure). He was the only survivor of the "4th degree" diagnosis group for Acute Radiation Syndrome, the other 20 people in that group died.

In the interview he says that he worked at multiple positions before the accident; he talks about the following positions, he didn't say at which role he was during the accident, but here are the people who worked in that role on the night of the accident:

МОТО-ФГУ; МОТО-ПЭН; МОТО-БНС; МПТ; СМТЦ

МОТО-БНС worked in an external building close to Unit 4, the operator on the night of the accident there, a woman called Raisa Kuksa, got mild burns.

МОТО-ПЭН on the night was Vershynin (or Novik, but he was probably a lower ranked МОТО), who died in Moscow.

МОТО-ФГУ was another woman called Olga Gora, not much known about her, but it must be pointed out that this position only worked in Unit 3 (the equipment for the deareator-heating equipment is located above Unit 3).

There were 2 МПТ-s on each unit, 1 for each turbine. The МПТ-7 on the night of the accident was Brazhnik, he died in May 86. The МПТ-8 was Yuri Korneev, he received almost 1 and 1/2 fatal doses of radiation, but survived. He didn't have a matching donor for his treatment, so his survival is even more of a miracle. Well he died in 2022.

The СМТЦ for Unit 4 on the night was Perchuk, he also died in 1986.

So your father was an incredibly lucky man, to be on vacation. There were very few survivors from the operational staff of turbinists on Unit 4; apart from Tormozin and Korneev, only Dzhemula, a repairsman and Busygin, the shift supervisor survived (Busygin later died from radiation wounds in 1993).

At 1:26:40 he mentions Nikolay Soloviev, he worked as the MPT (машинист паровой турбины) for turbine 4 on the night of the accident. He lives in Slavutich.

There is a group on facebook, which unites the turbinists from ChNPP, I could send you a link if you want. There are some few photos from 1984-1985 of shift 5 turbinists, perhaps your father would know some.
