2 Ukrainian broadcasts, broadcast as part of the "Current Camera" programme. While I couldn't find the exact dates, they are from summer 1986.

Some interesting stuff that can be seen.

Hole in the roof of the reactor hall of Unit 3. Apparently something big crashed into the roof on the night of the disaster.
Unit 3 control room, in 1986. Footage of Unit 3 before 1990 is almost unheard of, so quite rare.
Room 523 and southern pump hall of Unit 3. Yep the same place where the famous Perevozchenko photo was taken.
Golden corridor before it was golden.
Dosimetry control room of Units 1 and 2, this very important room is rarely seen by the public, even now. Most people simply do not know of its existence.

Hope this helps your research and makes your day. David01.

Hello!

This is good video! I see this reactimeter on this video. Did you have some info about it? I search photo reactimeter with good resolution

I had no idea Unit 3 reactor hall had a hole in the roof! But I don't see any in the aerial photos. Maybe it's just some really big lamp on the ceiling?

I don't see any hole there either. Besides, in all my many years of interest in the Chernobyl topic, I've never heard of one being there (which, of course, is not proof of the contrary).

Wasn't that hole on the roof caused by an unsuccessful drop of fire extinguishing stuff from a helicopter? IIRC they made a hole or two in the roofs in the process.

Is the dosimetry control room located on the right side of the golden corridor near the unit 1 control room? I remember when I visited the plant there was an open door on the right side that led to something looking like another control room, but we passed by too quickly to figure out what it was
