1:03:01
This is the captain.
1:03:04
We've had a malfunction
in the aft reactor.

1:03:07
Measures are being taken
to correct the situation.

1:03:12
Remain atyourstations.
1:03:19
- Read it again.
- "In case of sudden drop...

1:03:22
in the pressure
of the primary circuit...

1:03:25
measures must be taken to reduce
precipitation heat release."

1:03:28
But this doesn't work.
The reflux valve isn't here.

1:03:32
- What measures?
- There are none. It's useless.

1:03:35
The rest is about the backup system,
which was never installed.

1:03:37
When we reach periscope depth,
I need to speak to fleet command.

1:03:42
Yes, Comrade Captain.
1:03:54
Why can't we just
shut the reactor down?

1:03:57
We have shut it down, but
we can't control the reaction.

1:04:00
Suppose we use the forward
reactor?

1:04:03
We could cross-connect its pumps.
Use them to cool both.

1:04:07
The rupture in the reactor
is not accessible.

1:04:09
Therefore, we can't seal
the leak...

1:04:11
and we'd have two reactors
out of control.

1:04:14
So we still have
to cool down the reactor.

1:04:19
- Permission to speak, Lieutenant.
- Of course.

1:04:24
The coolant is
just distilled water.

1:04:28
We have 30 tons
of fresh water on board.

1:04:32
Yes.
1:04:34
- But how do we get it to the core?
- Pass the schematic.
