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.

This roundtable discussion will feature representatives from utilities awarded funding through DOE’s Light Water Reactor Sustainability Program to demonstrate hydrogen production at existing LWR plants in Ohio, Arizona, and Minnesota. The speakers will provide their perspectives on the first-of-a-kind projects that represent a significant opportunity to improve the long-term economic competitiveness of the current LWR fleet by providing experience and insights on the production of clean hydrogen in addition to electricity at operating nuclear power plants.
