Nuclear Disaster

A small amount of radioactive debris removed by a robot from Japan's stricken Fukushima nuclear plant has arrived at a research lab near Tokyo, the plant operator said Tuesday, after a journey kept secret for safety reasons.

A difficult operation to remove a small amount of radioactive debris from Japan's stricken Fukushima nuclear plant began Tuesday, after technical issues suspended an earlier attempt.

At the heart of Chernobyl exclusion zone is a radioactive object which has been aptly called the most dangerous object on Earth. Dubbed the Elephant's Foot, the highly dangerous mass of toxic material was formed in the aftermath of nuclear disaster.

Several animals live in the the 'Chernobyl Exclusion Zone' - a 30-mile cordon where public access is forbidden due to contamination.

The wolves in Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ) were exposed to 11.28 millirem of radiation daily - more than six times the legal safety limit for humans.

Chinese nuclear submarine disaster led to the death of 55 sailors. They died from hypoxia after oxygen systems malfunctioned.

China has not said what action it will take if the release goes head but it has warned Japan that it must "bear all the consequences" of its action.

Ukraine began nuclear disaster response drills on Thursday in the vicinity of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station in the south of the country, regional officials said.

Baba Vanga is also believed to have predicted a powerful solar storm that will affect the Earth's climate in 2023.

Scientists are now gaining insight into how generations are impacted by long-term radiation exposure from a group of wild dogs living near the Chernobyl exclusion zone.

The 1986 Chernobyl nuclear reactor disaster's radioactive fallout has caused the Eastern tree frogs in Ukraine to rapidly evolve.

Shellfire at the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine fuelled fears of major disaster as both sides kept blaming the other, while Russian forces targeted towns on the far side of the river from Europe's largest atomic plant.

The world narrowly escaped a radiation disaster when electricity to Europe's largest nuclear power plant was cut for hours, Ukraine's president said, urging international bodies to act faster to force Russian troops to vacate the site.

Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned Thursday of a nuclear disaster in Ukraine during his first face-to-face talks with President Volodymyr Zelensky since Russia's invasion began, echoing pleas from the UN's chief.

Nuclear conflict could wipe out over 5 billion people due to starvation if a modern full-scale war were to occur between two superpowers. Researchers at Rutgers University calculated the amount of soot that would be injected into the atmosphere due to the detonation of nuclear weapons. Here's what the study discovered about the threats to humankind...
