In December 2017, a Ukrainian-German company, Solar Chernobyl, announced construction of a massive solar power plant in the abandoned territory. The one-megawatt power plant, built just a few hundred feet from the damaged Reactor 4, was fitted with 3,800 photovoltaic panels. The Ukrainian govern...

This article explores the causes (and aftermath) of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster that occurred near Pripyat, Ukraine. What prompted reactor 3 to fail? Could the disaster have been avoided altogether?
Even now 30 years later the area is restricted with special signs as radiation levels here are several times higher than near the reactor core. So don’t be fooled by a deciduous woodland which took over fir trees and is beautifully green and seems so normal it’s still the “dead area”...
With the bubbler pool gone, a meltdown was less likely to produce a powerful steam explosion. To do so, the molten core would now have to reach the water table below the reactor. To reduce the likelihood of this, it was decided to freeze the earth beneath the reactor, which would also...
This was immediately followed by an open-air reactor core fire. The core fire released considerable airborne radioactive contamination for about nine days which precipitated onto parts of the USSR and western Europe, before being finally contained on 4 May 1986. The radioactive contamination ...
"Around each [Zaporizhzhia] reactor is a very solid concrete core that is designed… to absorb [radiation]," he said, but he added that a deep-penetrating missile deliberately fired into the plant would still create "mayhem." "If there is a massive explosion and a meltdown of the six ...
Though there were attempts to shut down the reactor entirely, another power surge caused a chain reaction of explosions inside the plant. Finally, the nuclear core itself was exposed, spewing a cloud of radioactive material into the atmosphere that billowed acrossnorthern and western Europe, reachi...
