Right after Chernobyl accident, Chernobyl 2 (radar intended to detect American nuclear missiles) was closed.

ex-USSR general:
"Using weapons is a terrible thing, hence nuclear weapons are even worst. Chernobyl was an accident involving one single reactor, a limited accident, whose consequences are still with us. We've had two bombs, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, there again the consequences are still being felt today."

Former 1st Secretary USSR:
"Chernobyl showed us the true nature of nuclear energy in human hands. We've calculated that our most powerful missile, the SS-18 was as powerful as 100 Chernobyl. The SS-18 was the warhead the American's feared the most and we had 2700 of them. Imagine the destruction. --- Chernobyl convinced everyone, Soviets and Americans alike, realized once and for all the magnitude of the atomic volcanoes our countries were sitting on. Not only our two countries, but the entire world. THE ENTIRE WORLD!"
