(Natural News) Ukrainian officials have reported that hundreds of Russian soldiers were forced to pull out from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine after suffering “acute radiation sickness” from contaminated soil. Allegedly being treated now in a special medical facility in Gomel, Belarus are Russian troops, who dug trenches in the contaminated Red Forest close to the site […]

(Natural News) Ukraine’s Director of Institute for Safety Problems of Nuclear Power Plants (ISPNPP) Anatolii Nosovskyi claimed that looters had made off with radioactive ingredients that could be used in creating dirty bombs. According to Nosovskyi, radioactive isotopes at a Chernobyl monitoring lab have gone missing as Russian troops occupied the nuclear power plant and disaster zone. […]

(Natural News) Ukraine’s Institute for Safety Problems of Nuclear Power Plants (ISPNPP) has recently claimed that looters stole radioactive isotopes from a monitoring lab in Chernobyl and that these materials could be used to make a “dirty bomb.” A dirty bomb, or radiological dispersal device, is any kind of explosive device that has been mixed with radioactive […]

(Natural News) Russian occupying forces have disconnected Chernobyl nuclear power plant in northern Ukraine from the national power grid igniting safety fears at the site, the global nuclear watchdog warned Wednesday. (Article by Simon Kent republished from Breitbart.com) The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Ukraine had notified it about its loss of control over the site […]

(Natural News) Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says that Russian occupation forces are attempting to seize control of the shuttered Chernobyl nuclear power plant, which, if disrupted, could release “radioactive dust” across Europe. Advisor to Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Anton Gerashchenko announced that Russian troops from the territory of Belarus have entered the Chernobyl […]

(Natural News) Ukrainian officials have confirmed that Russian forces have captured the decommissioned Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant and parts of the surrounding areas, including the infrastructure housing nuclear waste and other radioactive materials. The Ukrainian government is warning that continued conflict in the area could theoretically lead to radioactive material leaking from the site. Close […]

(Natural News) The 1986 nuclear accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power facility — located in modern-day Ukraine which was at that time part of the Soviet Union — killed an estimated 50 people from acute radiation poisoning, possibly another 9,000 from thyroid poisoning due to radiation, and an estimated 125,000 additional people whose lives were […]

(Natural News) A surge in fission reactions caught the attention of scientists monitoring the ruins of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine. Sensors have tracked a spike in neutron emissions from a chamber known as room 305/2, which is inaccessible and has not been seen by human or robotic eyes since the explosion of Reactor No. […]

(Natural News) Scientists raise the possibility of another nuclear accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, as fission reactions are smoldering once again in the nuclear reactor that melted down in 1986. This is according to the Institute for Safety Problems of Nuclear Power Plants (ISPNPP) in Ukraine. In a discussion last week about plans to dismantle the […]

(Natural News) The devastating effects of the deadly 1986 nuclear blast in Ukraine can still be seen in crops growing far from the explosion site, according to a recent study published in the journal Environment International. A team led by University of Exeter researchers found that crops grown miles from the Chernobyl nuclear site contain radionuclides above safe consumption […]
