The best way to prevent something like Chernobyl is not to let Russians run your nuclear reactors. especially if it's probaly only going to be mainly Ukranians affected. My understanding is the Chernobyl came about after the operators came up with the brilliant idea of seeing what would happen if the massive amounts of automatic safety mechanismswere disabled.

I beleive they either are building or have buit a massive underground bunker literally inside a mountain as a repository for spent fuel. It's not the best option, but it sure does provide a lot of energy and France is doing it fine.
