An image displays white text on a bright green background. The text describes an event that occurred in May 1986 at the Chernobyl nuclear plant. Three volunteer engineers, clad in heavy diving gear, waded through highly radioactive, pitch-black floodwaters beneath the reactor. They operated by touch and with the dim beam of a failing flashlight to manually turn release valves. This action successfully drained the pool of water, preventing a secondary thermal explosion that could have leveled the entire site. At the bottom left of the image is a black and yellow radioactive symbol.
