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.

The detritiation system using the hydrogen-oxidizing microorganism isolated from the sandy loam soil was developed, which is designed to remove HT in a gas phase. Silicone hollow-fiber-membrane tubes was used to separate gas phase and liquid phase in which microorganisms are cultured. HT in the gas phase diffuses through the tube membrane to the liquid phase, oxidized to HTO and retained in the liquid phase. Detritiation system showed rapid and complete removal of HT mixed in the room air of atmospheric H2 concentration.
