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

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.

From time immemorial, man has desired to comprehend the complexity of nature in terms of as few elementary concepts as possible.

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.

The Chernobyl technology is different from the technology which is used in the west, mainly.

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