No "pros" about the accident.
What happened in Chernobyl was an accident, and therefore cannot be qualified as genocide since there was no intent to systemically destroy (or kill, eradicate, et cetera) the people in Chernobyl.

Additionally, the Chernobyl disaster led to multiple immediate fatalities and a significant evacuation of nearby residents.

During the Chernobyl disaster in April 1986, approximately 115,000 people were evacuated from the surrounding areas, particularly the city of Pripyat and nearby towns.

The evacuation efforts aimed to protect residents from the harmful effects of radiation released during the nuclear accident.
