Come in!

- How are you?

- Fine. Your shoes!

You've got a nerve, you come again

to ask for something.

- What shall I tell them?

- You just answer to their questions.

- Why do they do this?

- It's the normal procedure.

- You did something stupid!

- Sh*t, I did not.

- Shhh, shut up!

- It's a background check.

- I do not understand.

It's made by the intelligence agents.

Whoever cannot work in a nuclear plant.

Nuclear industry is classified

as a top-secret defense.

It's important you answer them.

Nadia left this to you.

Did you tell her you had left?

- I didn't.

- Why do you do this?

You don't find anything else as a work?

- I take what exists.

- You didn't find something more stupid?

- Do you want to ruin your health?

- You watch too much TV.

- In the worst case, it's like

a severe sunburn. - Of course...

- We travel, we see the country.

- That's what they say?

- How is Nadia?

- Not well.

- Me too.

- Of course

You have never been in love,

you cannot understand.

- It's true!

- Are you joking?

Once you're radiated,

you have to pee and sh*t.

Your body must get rid of it,

it doesn't take long.

Toni, what happens when you're radiated?

Can you explain to the kid?

This is what happens, isn't it?

Get up!

You see, you had the whole experience!

Fear, anxiety

Your vision is blurred,

your head is spinning

Your legs are shaking,

This is exactly like being radiated.

And it was a small radiation!

Sit down!

He's right to marry her:

She's horny!

To love!

Gary Manda.

- That's OK!

- Strong as a tiger, I told you.

I fill out your form of medical fitness

your tracking card - to be given to the counter.

You have your DATR certification.

- Here!

- Thanks.

- He's happy, he's got his log book.

- hut your trap!

You put your badge.

Thanks, have a nice day.

You remove all you jewelry.

Take a locker.

Dosimeter... 0099.

Socks.

Now we are in a controlled area.

- Hurry up! - Shut your trap,

it's their first working day!

Don't be too curious!"

Come over here guys!

A dual protection: a pair of

latex gloves, a pair of nylon ones.

Close this.

Kid, when your nose is itchy,

what do you do?

Like this.

Put on your helmet and here we go.

Sleeve, manifold, siphon

So, young men, it is scary, right?

Do you see Toni over there

and the nuclear fuel rods?

If he passes above a nuclear fuel rod,

that's the end.

- What is it?

- The heart of the reactor.

The nuclear fuel is there.

Few people can dive next to the reactor.

- What is he doing?

- He's looking for a part which broke loose.

Ok, that's fine.

Come on, let's work.

You introduce your hands in the hole.

If you are clean, it will open.

You must switch it off.
