I always thought S.T.A.L.K.E.R. was just a gripping shooter with survival horror and open world elements.

Now it looks like it was a prophecy. I wonder if the Strelok is alive today?

Doesn't look much like a prophecy considering all the analysis by experts. Unless something more drastic happens, the plant will be fine. (The obvious caveat here is that even experts can be wrong but let's hope they're not.)

I recall there being lots of "experts" around during the Fukushima disaster, explaining that there's nothing to worry about (because insert explanation of safety mechanisms in a modern reactor that either weren't there at all or were not working).

I hope the experts this time around actually know what they're talking about. It's hard to tell armchair experts and real experts apart.
