(Photo : Getty Images) Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant  In Ukraine, nuclear reactions are smoldering again in a basement of the wrecked Chernobyl nuclear power plant that is unreachable, according to news reports. Researchers keeping an eye on the plant - which exploded infamously in a 1986  lethal meltdown - have identified a stable spik...

Dont show me this message again✕ Danger zone? The ‘new safe confinement’ over the reactor at Chernobyl (Simon Calder) Scientists in Ukraine were alarmed last week to encounter unexpected fission reactions erupting deep within the bowels of the abandoned Chernobyl power plant, scene of the world’s worst nuclear disaster when a spectacular meltdown occurred on 26 April 1986, leading to mass evacuations and a failed Soviet cover-up. Experts from the Institute for Safety Problems of Nuclea...

ExtremeTech Chernobyl Is Heating Up Again, and Scientists Aren’t Sure Why By Ryan Whitwam on May 13, 2021 at 7:20 am This site may earn affiliate commissions from the links on this page. Terms of use. The disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is now more than 35 years in the past, but the possibility of another disaster has yet to fade completely. Recently, engineers completed the construction of the New Safe Confinement (NSC). The NSC was supposed to stabilize the s...

Chernobyls Molten Guts Are Warming Up, And Scientists Dont Know Why 12 MAY 2021 Over the past five years, a sensor keeping count of neutron emissions deep within the rubble of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant has kept track of a gradual spike in activity.   The rising count might be nothing. It might even drop back down again, given time. Scientists arent exactly keen on taking any chances, as the potential for a runaway nuclear fission reaction in the future cant be ruled out until we know...

May 11, 2021 10:02 PM EDT Nuclear fission reactions have begun to flame up again in an isolated basement room deep inside the ruined pits of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, 35 years since the worlds worst nuclear disaster. (Photo : Pixabay) According to Science Magazine, Ukrainian scientists from the Institute for Safety Problems in Nuclear Power Plants (ISPNPP) recently discovered an extraordinarily high number of neutrons emitting from an inaccessible room in the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Pl...

If you were planning to make your first trip after the pandemic shutdown ends to Chernobyl and visit the site of the infamous nuclear power plant disaster of 1986 – you may want to call your travel agent and book a cruise instead because, despite COVID-19, that might be safer. Sensors have picked up fission reactions causing a “smoldering” in uranium fuel masses buried deep inside a reactor hall that could cause the closed plant to rise up again like a radioactive phoenix. While that may ...

Restless radioactive remains are still stirring in Chernobyl’s nuclear tomb. ‘It’s like the embers in a barbecue pit.’ Nuclear reactions are smoldering again at Chernobyl  https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/05/nuclear-reactions-reawaken-chernobyl-reactor By Richard Stone, May. 5, 2021 ,  Thirty-five years after the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine exploded in the world’s worst nuclear accident, fission reactions are smoldering again in uranium fuel masses buried deep i...
