Before Chernobyl or without Chernobyl the nuclear power was the safe thing.

Scientific thought and its creation is the common and shared heritage of mankind.

The creation of Physics is the shared heritage of all mankind. East and West, North and South have equally participated in it.

Soon I knew the craft of experimental physics was beyond me - it was the sublime quality of patience - patience in accumulating data, patience with recalcitrant equipment - which I sadly lacked.

Mankind spends much more on training pilots of aircraft than it does to train the nuclear reactor operators.

I am a particle physicist, which is the nearest branch to nuclear physics. So in that sense I was the sort of right connection with the subject of nuclear energy and so on.

Personally I would like to see that the nuclear age, in terms of power, does come, because there's no long-term future for developing countries without nuclear power.
