Nuclear Radiation

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.

Betavolt said the radiation of the nuclear battery poses no danger to the human body, making it usable in medical devices such as pacemakers.

This serves as a reminder of the risks associated with the ongoing cleanup efforts at the facility, which was severely damaged in 2011.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Thursday that Moscow's forces were considering launching a "terror attack" at the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, a recurring flash point of concern throughout Russia's invasion.

A Minnesota nuclear power plant released at least 400,000 gallons of radioactive water in November but the spill was finally made public on Thursday.

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.

Tens of thousands of North Koreans and people in South Korea, Japan and China could be exposed to radioactive materials spread through groundwater from an underground nuclear test site.

A reactor at a Japanese nuclear power plant automatically shut down on Monday after an alert, but no radiation rise was detected and regulators said they were investigating the cause.

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

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.

Russian soldiers who seized the site of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster drove their armoured vehicles without radiation protection through a highly toxic zone called the "Red Forest", kicking up clouds of radioactive dust, workers at the site said.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said on Wednesday Russia must urgently observe a temporary ceasefire to allow repairs on a power line to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, saying radiation could be leaked if an electricity outage continues.

The Ukrainian nuclear regulator said Friday that no leaks of radiation have been detected at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, which caught fire overnight during a battle with Russian troops.

Ukraine is reporting a spike in radiation levels around Chernobyl since the Russian military has captured the nuclear power plant, which was the site of a major disaster in 1986.
