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 blanket tritium recovery system using the hydrogen pump with solid electrolyte membrane has been proposed by the present authors. Perovskite-type ceramic such as SrCe0.95Yb0.05O3-a, is one of the candidate protonic conductor for hydrogen pump and its ionic hydrogen transportation properties are being investigated. Deuterium transportation properties were investigated and were compared with H2 to understand the isotope effect. The basic hydrogen isotope transportation property of SrCe0.95Yb0.05O3-a, its technical feasibility, and issues for further development toward practical devices were revealed.
