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.

Plenary | Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Tritium Science and Technology Tsukuba, Japan November 12-16, 2001 | doi.org/10.13182/FST02-A22606
Articles are hosted by Taylor and Francis Online.
An overview of the tritium related research and activities presently undertaken in Korea is presented. These activities encompass the Wolsong Tritium Removal Facility (WTRF) in KHNP, isotope separation, storage and biology in KAERI, KEPRI and KAIST. The design status of the WTRF that serves four CANDU reactors is described. It is made up of three parts; liquid phase catalytic exchange (LPCE), cryogenic distillation, and metal hydride storage. Results from the technological R&D of tritium processing for the WTRF and biology are summarized.
