Russian nuclear officials said, the Chernobyl-type disaster is unlikely to occur in the affected nuclear power plants in Japan, but experts have refused to rule out this scenario.
"There can be no repetition of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Fukushima," said Sergei Novikov, a spokesman for Russian nuclear corporation Rosatom. "In the worst case in Japan is what happened at Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in the U.S. in 1979, where fuel is melted down, but remained inside the reactor." The representative explained that at Chernobyl in 1986, he was a nuclear reactor, which exploded sending clouds of radioactive material across Europe, while the explosion was caused by the Fukushima plant superheated steam while the radioactive reactor were intact. However, independent experts said that so far the risk of Chernobyl-style. "If there was no crisis of fuel in the reactor core and the situation is not brought under control, the reactor can explode like Chernobyl," said Vladimir Slivyak group environment Eco-defense. "If the reactor is not cooled in the coming hours the situation can evolve according to the scenario of Chernobyl, when the main crisis caused a massive release of radioactive material," agreed chemistry professor Leonid Rikhvanov Tomsk Polytechnic University.
