Chernobyl at 40 years: Looking back at Nuclear News

Sunday, April 26, at 1:23 a.m. local time marked 40 years since the most severe nuclear accident in history: the meltdown of Chernobyl-4.

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. Go deeper on Nuclear Newswire.
