They sent a unsuited man crawling underneath the vessel to check for leakage of fuel.
When they started building the sarcophagus (sp?) they sent thousands of Soviet soldiers to carry debris and throw it into the pit, they could only work for a total of three minutes and in those three minutes exceeded their life time dosage, most of those soldiers and firefighters died of the after affects, and the videos of the firefighters were disturbing to say the least.
