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 coronavirus (COVID-19) has upended the way organizations and individuals interact and communicate. As we practice social distancing and comply with “stay at home” orders, nuclear energy communicators have found ways to continue to tell the story of nuclear energy. This panel will feature insights and information from communications leaders who each have prevailed over the challenges that the coronavirus era presents for communicating with internal and external stakeholders.
