"Given that experts say a major radioactive release is weeks to months away, if at all, the biggest consequence of the power shutoff or targeting of nuclear plants in the war is fear, said Emma Claire Foley, a policy researcher on U.S.-Russian nuclear policy." “People hear ‘Chernobyl’ and think ‘nuclear disaster, ’” Foley said. “It does cause fear. And it does cause a sense of uncertainty.”
