"If the current first power unit [of the Bushehr plant] is hit, it will be a disaster comparable to Chernobyl," Likhachev told reporters, adding that Rosatom urges the Israeli authorities to avoid even considering a strike on the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant. Now Russia considers it possible to leave some of the Russian specialists at the Bushehr facility in Iran, but Rosatom is ready for a rapid evacuation of the specialists. No physical destruction has been done to the Iranian uranium enrichment facilities from Israeli strikes, and there were no radiation emissions, Likhachev added.
