Catfish, as for authorities reaction inside USSR - actually destruction of reactor was confirmed by Government and Politbureau by 15-00 on 26th april - same day. Evacuation of Pripyat was nearly instant - next day 27-th april and it was very effective: during less than 24 hrs authorities gathered 1200 buses, 360 trucks, two diesel railway trains, recon of safe routes was made, and columns were moving according to reconned safe routes - by the 16-00 27th april evac was accomplished. So I cannot say it was a slower reaction than say Japanese reaction at Fukusima. What was wrong in my opinoin - a decision not to stop 1'st of May Demonstration in Kiev.
