The Shovel Brigade.

You are a conscripted soldier sent to the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. As a young man, you are expected to do your duty to your country, and sacrifice your body and mind for radiological clean-up.

Sent in as a Shovel Brigadier to complete the job that robots couldn't - due to high levels of radiation - your main duty involves running up onto the roof of reactor 4 with a shovel to move the chunks of hot graphite sprayed out during the explosion.

But this is the Soviet Union, so of course your duties don't actually end where they do on paper.
