IAEA: Chernobyl drone strike latest threat to nuclear safety in Ukraine
Social media this past weekend screamed with reactionary posts following a drone strike last Friday at the site of the destroyed reactor from the 1986 Chernobyl accident. The drone—armed with a warhead—ripped a hole in the exterior shielding structure, caused a fire that took hours to extinguish, and left a hole larger than 500 square feet but so far has not caused any spikes in radiation levels at Chernobyl.
