The Chernobyl site contains several nuclear waste containment facilities to prevent radioactive materials spreading A radiation spike has been recorded near Chernobyl's nuclear power plant which ...

Chernobyl has been devoid of any human residents since a nuclear meltdown in 1986 caused radiation levels to spike to un-survivable numbers. Since then, the area has become a de facto habitat for ...

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 ...

They theorised that the darker pigmentation, linked to a mutation in melanin, helped neutralise radiation. Could the same be true for Chernobyl’s dogs? While the study offers a starting point ...

After the Chernobyl disaster, scientists observed patches of blackened growths on the walls of the No. 4 reactor—fungi that seemed to thrive where the radiation was highest. Cladosporium ...
