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.

As the geopolitical landscape continues to shift, export controls are increasingly important to U.S. national security. As the geopolitics shift, so do some export control requirements, which can help exporters navigate the complexities of this landscape, They can – and should be – integral to the marketing and project management strategies of nuclear energy exporters and those who support them, including national labs, universities, consulting companies and other parts of the nuclear supply chain. In this panel discussion, experts from the U.S. Government will participate in an engaging and informative discussion on the considerations and actions that can streamline exports of nuclear technology, avoid common pitfalls, and take advantage of U.S. Government expertise and resources. And, they’ll tell you everything you always wanted to know about export controls but were afraid to ask.
