I didn't watch the show, so I would repeat what I heard from people who did and who know the inside stuff (of the power plant, not of the show). They said it was ridiculous to show a leadboarded truck at the time of the accident - and even later military APCs were used to travel in the zone. Radiation meters were not fixed outside the vehicles - each of them was equipped with one inside. The helicopter fell into the ruins of the power plant half a year after the catastrophe - in October 1986. These are only the first 3 inadequacies mentioned in the article which I didn't read further.
