Chernobyl at 40 years: Looking back at Nuclear News
Sunday, April 26, at 1:23 a.m. local time will mark 40 years since the most severe nuclear accident in history: the meltdown of Unit 4 at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine, then part of the Soviet Union.
In the ensuing four decades, countless books, documentaries, articles, and conference sessions have examined Chernobyl’s history and impact from various angles. There is a similar abundance of outlooks in the archives of Nuclear News, where hundreds of scientists, advocates, critics, and politicians have shared their thoughts on Chernobyl over the years. Today, we will take a look at some highlights from the pages of NN to see how the story of Chernobyl evolved over the decades.

The Varying Temperature Irradiation Experiment in the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) was carried out in the framework of the Japan-USA fusion cooperation program (JUPITER). The objective of the experiment is to investigate the performance of fusion structural materials subject to temperature variation during operation. The experiment will also contribute to re-examining the available fission
