ST. PETERSBURG. June 19 (Interfax) - A strike on the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) under construction in Iran could result in a catastrophe comparable to the Chernobyl disaster, Rosatom CEO Alexei Likhachev said.
"The Bushehr plant is a special, separate issue. And, of course, if a strike is delivered on the functioning first unit, it will be comparable to the Chernobyl disaster," Likhachev told journalists on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum on Thursday.
