feed to stay on top of the news. "[It is] like the embers in a barbecue pit," Neil Hyatt, a professor of nuclear materials science and engineering at the University of Sheffield Lecturer, told Science magazine. Fellow scientist, Maxim Saveliev, a senior researcher with the Institute for Safety Problems of Nuclear Power Plants (ISPNPP) in Kyiv, Ukraine, agrees with Hyatt, saying "there are many uncertainties, but we can't rule out the possibility of [an] accident." The Chernobyl disaster was a nuclear accident near the No. 4 reactor in the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, close to the city of ...

(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 spike in the number of neutrons in an underground room known as 305/2. The room is filled with heavy ru...

It's a "possibility" that another nuclear accident could take place, a researcher told Science magazine. Any potential explosion, however, would likely be less catastrophic than the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. Nuclear reactions are smoldering again in uranium fuel masses deep inside an unreachable basement room of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine, LiveScience reported. A rising number of neutrons can signal new fission reaction...

The New Safe Confinement arch over what was once Reactor Four at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine is the world's largest mobile steel structure. Image from: Clay Gilliland/Flickr/cc Scientists monitoring the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in northern Ukraine are detecting increased fission reactions inside an inaccessible chamber built around the radioactive ruins of a reactor that suffered a catastrophic meltdown in 1986—and they aren't sure why. New Scientistreported this week that since 2016, researchers have detected a 40% surge in neutron emissions from a sealed room contai...

Don't 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 Nuclear Power Plants (ISPNPP) in Kiev reported a 40 per cent increase in neutron emissions from 2016 leve...
