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 Education in Thermal Hydraulics Panel is the second in a series of panels focused on understanding and improving existing practices within thermal hydraulics related education, best practices, and tactical methods that may be feasible to deploy as a nuclear community to serve as resources for all ANS members. The goal of this second educational in thermal hydraulics panel is to reflect on the outcomes of the first which resulted in the understanding that a suite of resources should be developed for the community. The panel will also involve discussions on progress made on these efforts while providing discussion and dialogue through examples of success.
