In addition, the liquidators of the Chernobyl NPP Accident, which had worked at the plant on the tragedy day, spoke before the Forum participants. They described in details the delicacy of the rescue works at that time.
“The consequences of the Chernobyl NPP disaster have no boundaries and no nationality,” told Pavel Gredasov, a Head of the Leningrad NPP delegation and Chief Engineer of reactor control. “Carrying out these forums for young people educates not only paying respect to people, which participated in the liquidation of the Accident, but also makes realize what might bring to such tragic events and not let them happen nowadays.”
