The genetic differences between the dogs near the Chernobyl plant and those just 10 miles (16.09 km) away in Chernobyl city suggest that radiation exposure is having a profound effect. These dogs ...

The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant disaster of 1986 transformed a once-thriving region of Ukraine into a radioactive wasteland. Decades later, the 2,600 square kilometer Chernobyl Exclusion Zone ...

“We found land to settle. Now the land near Chernobyl is our home.” He adds: “My friends and family often ask ‘'What’s with the radiation?’ I tell them not to worry.” Vadym is so at ...

Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and which scientists are studying to unlock applications in a wide range of fields. The explosion of the No. 4 reactor of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant near Pripyat ...

For nearly 40 years, the Chernobyl exclusion zone (CEZ) has been a laboratory for scientists to study the long-term effects of radiation exposure. One of the ongoing subjects in this unintentional ...

Feral dogs living near Chernobyl differ genetically from their ancestors who survived the 1986 nuclear plant disaster—but these variations do not appear to stem from radioactivity-induced mutations.

Chernobyl engineer Oleksiy Breus, then and now, beside the backdrop of the TV portrayal of the disaster Hours after the world's worst nuclear accident, engineer Oleksiy Breus entered the control ...

In 1986, a reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear power station in then Soviet-controlled Ukraine exploded, sending a radioactive plume across Europe. The effects were devastating and the disaster's ...

The Chernobyl nuclear disaster of 1986 was a pivotal moment which ultimately accelerated the collapse of the USSR, making it one of the most historically significant events in recent history.

When you think of Chernobyl (or Chornobyl, now), you think of the nuclear accident, of course. But have you ever considered that where there is a nuclear reactor, there is a computer control system?

Radiation-induced mutations may not be the reason for the genetic differences between dog populations living near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, according to a new study. The study ...

A trip to the Chernobyl area included a visit to the abandoned town of Pripyat, left mostly as it was when residents were evacuated in 1986. ENR correspondent Peter Reina took a journey into the ...
