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 paper presents a novel technique using a shunt active power filter (SAPF) control strategy to reduce the harmonics generated by the power converter. A three-phase SAPF using the Takagi Sugeno (TS) fuzzy technique is used to reduce current distortion. The proposed TS fuzzy controller is a suitable candidate using SAPF techniques. In order to realize an acceptable distortion limit, TS fuzzy control uses SAPF to realize the performance of the system. The simulation results validate the proposed fuzzy control strategy by a Matlab/Simulink model.
