Russia Ukraine War: “Severe Nuclear Accident” Fear Grips Zaporizhzhia with Palki Sharma

This is very serious stuff! Although, I don't believe a nuclear power plant can be compared to a nuclear bomb.

What Chernobyl’s stray dogs could teach us about the 1986 nuclear accident

This seems to be an interesting project! Unfortunately, the Russo-Ukrainian war is still ongoing!

My guess, this research will confirm that the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear accident was by far not as terrible as it has been made to be for decades on  in Western countries similar to the 1979 Three Mile Island accident. Alarmism and hysteria have predominated public discourse to this day! Let's also not forget that Chernobyl happened under a Communist dictatorship with little regard for human life and public involvement!

What Chernobyl’s stray dogs could teach us about radiation Multi-year project in Ukraine aims to uncover the health effects of chronic radiation exposure.

Nuclear power plant risks in Ukraine after Russian military invasion

Serious and dangerous indeed!

"... Since Russia took control of two nuclear power plants inside Ukraine earlier this month, reactors inside those plants have been cut off from their power sources, and radiation-monitoring devices have been disconnected, leading to concerns of a potential nuclear disaster. ..."

What is the nuclear risk in Ukraine? Radiation expert Vadim Chumak speaks from Kyiv about his fears. | MIT Technology Review Vadim Chumak monitored radiation after Chernobyl. He explains what could go wrong now, and says he’s “old enough to sacrifice” his life.

No excess mutations in the children of Chernobyl survivors, new study finds

For over 30 years, environmentalists, alarmists and the like have warned the public with their apocalyptic exaggerations about the Chernobyl nuclear accident!

"... Working with colleagues at the Broad Institute, Chanock’s team sequenced the genomes of 105 parents and 130 children born between 1987 and 2002. Numbers of DNMs [de novo mutations] were no greater than those seen in the general population—even at the highest radiation doses, the researchers report today in Science. ..."

"Effects of radiation exposure from the Chernobyl nuclear accident remain a topic of interest. We investigated whether children born to parents employed as cleanup workers or exposed to occupational and environmental ionizing radiation post-accident were born with more germline de novo mutations (DNMs). Whole-genome sequencing of 130 children (born 1987-2002) and their parents did not reveal an increase in the rates, distributions, or types of DNMs versus previous studies. ..."
