In this paper, the reactor accident at Chernobyl (USSR) is described and discussed in the framework of nuclear energy in the Soviet Union in general, and more specifically as a failure of the RBMK-1000 type reactor. Safety aspects of this reactor type are also considered. (G.J.P.)...
The Chernobyl reactor was a pressure tube reactor of the type RBMK, which has been built several times in the Soviet Union. Experts from regulatory authorities and research institutes have analysed the existing accident data and results from accident simulations and gave their view in many published...
The one above is my favourite - the big sphere is actually part of the instrument. This is a neutron meter, used to measure the number of neutrons around a reactor or a plutonium store. It was used from the late 60's to the late 70's... This one above is a vintage beta and gam...

Thirty-one years after the worst nuclear disaster in history, a group of self-proclaimed “stalkers” makes illegal trips into the abandoned radioactive city.

The Chernobyl nuclear power plant’s (NPP) number four reactor exploded on 26 April 1986, sending a radioactive cloud across much of Europe. Radioactivity with an intensity equivalent to 500 of the bombs that destroyed Hiroshima, Japan, at the end of World War Two was measured in the atmosph...
