No End in Sight: Chernobyl 40 Years Later
A picture from 2005 of workers wearing respirators and plastic suits pause before drilling holes for support rods inside the sarcophagus that was built to encase Reactor Unit 4 of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant after the catastrophic disaster. Radiation levels were so high that workers needed to constantly monitor their dosimeters and were only allowed to stay inside for 15 minutes a day.

Forty years after the Chernobyl disaster, a science writer explains what went wrong with the nuclear power facility and why. Long answer short, it was Soviet hubris, and fossil fuels are still much more dangerous than nuclear.

From 2013: Ten Most #Radioactive Places on Earth Mapped Out [GRAPHIC]
"Do you know the dirty side of the #NuclearIndustry? After researching this article by brainz.org, we were shocked to find out how truly awful our radioactive waste problem is and how it is going to be hurting us all, for a long time to come. Please take the time to read the links below, share this with your friends, and discuss solutions to these problems. ~ Jim Lee, #ClimateViewer News
"This list is not a definitive TOP TEN, it is simply ten very disgusting examples of nuclear warfare against the citizens of this world."

Chernobyl REACTOR at HOME — Part 1
This video marks the beginning of a long-term project to build a functional hardware simulator of a #Chernobyl #RBMK reactor control room.
Not a prop. Not a static replica. But a working panel with real buttons, indicators, switches, logging, and control logic.
This project is personal for us. -
@erin Midnight at Chernobyl. History and analysis, both technical and political/social, of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. It’s long, but really interesting. The depth of hubris that led to the accident was decades-long and extended all the way to the top of the Soviet science hierarchy.

#InTheNews - #Radiation eating fungus. Savior or #NuclearIndustry PR? I've always been fascinated by the #RadiotrophicFungus. But is it truly performing #Radiosynthesis? What is the "chemical byproduct"? Also, I do remember reading about #FukushimaBlackMold and #SpaceFungus on the #ISS. Hmmmm....
Species in #Chernobyl disaster zone is mutating to feed on nuclear radiation
By CHRIS MELORE, US ASSISTANT SCIENCE EDITOR, 1 December 2025
"Nearly 40 years after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in Ukraine, scientists have discovered a form of life that's thriving on the radiation that's been left behind.
A strange black fungus called #CladosporiumSphaerospermum, found growing on abandoned reactor walls, hasn't just learned to survive the deadly fallout, but several strains now grow faster when radiation is present and even move towards it."

‘ #Chernobyl-style #risk’ at #Russian #reactor {#Kursk #NPP} https://www.bangkokpost.com/world/2851936/chernobyl-style-risk-at-russian-reactor
The United Nations’ nuclear watchdog says it is enormously concerned by fighting near a Russian nuclear power plant because the old Soviet reactors {#RBMK 1000} in operation are particularly exposed.

‘This is #Chernobyl’: #Texas ranchers say ‘forever chemicals’ in waste-based fertilizers ruined their land
Story by Rebecca Lopez
April 28, 2024"Ranchers here say their cattle, fish and horses are dying and getting sick because of a fertilizer spread on nearby farmland.
"The fertilizer is made from treated human waste from the city of Fort Worth.
"The company that makes the fertilizer says its products meet government standards.
"County officials have launched a criminal investigation, and ranchers are suing, saying runoff from the fertilizer has made their land useless."

Sooo apparently SimGenics made an RBMK-1000 simulator...Nothing else is getting accomplished tonight.
