   What we see [ in Chernobyl ] is a vivid example of outrage at a nuclear facility. It is the responsibility not only of Ukraine, but of the whole world, to keep the stations safe, the whole world watched live as tanks fired at nuclear power units [ in Zaporizhzhia ]. This history must never repeat itself.

2. David Fletcher:

   The real concern is not a catastrophic explosion as happened at Chernobyl but damage to the cooling system which is required even when the reactor is shut down, it was this type of damage that led to the Fukushima accident.

3. Sanam Vakil:

   This could be 'Iran's Chernobyl moment,' but the question is how is Iranian leadership going to handle it. [After Chernobyl] everything was very much incumbent on one political leader making a decision to accept responsibility and alter political dynamics.

4. Svetlana Alexievich:

   Real people speak in my books about the main events of the age such as the war, the Chernobyl disaster, and the downfall of a great empire, but I don't just record a dry history of events and facts, I'm writing a history of human feelings.

5. James Acton:

   Fukushima is a better analogy than Chernobyl, in this event, evacuations may be required for tens of kilometers around the plant, especially downwind. In the middle of a war those would be exceptionally dangerous.
