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.
ANS has made every effort to secure the best possible nightly room rate for you at Huntsville Marriott at the Space & Rocket Center. That rate results from a negotiated overall package of event needs including but not limited to sleeping rooms, meeting room space and other requirements.
Please help ANS keep the costs of this event as low as possible by booking your housing needs at the host hotel and through the reservation process created by ANS. Reserving your rooms elsewhere means you are booking outside the contracted room block, jeopardizing ANS’ ability to meet its contracted obligations. Unfortunately, if this happens, event costs will continue to increase if ANS falls short of its minimum room block guarantee. ANS appreciates your support and understanding of this important issue. Thank you!
ANS does not sell or distribute attendees emails. Only open if from ans.org. If you get any questionable emails, please forward to your spam and notify registrar@ans.org.
NETS 2025 sessions and events will be in the Huntsville Marriott and also within walking distance at the Space and Rocket Center. The schedule notes which location it is in parenthesis after the room name. There will be signs directing you to the correct building at the Space and Rocket Center from the Huntsville Marriott Lobby. Remember to wear your wristband! At registration you will be given a wristband that grants you free entry to the Space and Rocket Center for the NETS 2025 sessions.
