Thirty
years after Chernobyl’s No. 4 reactor exploded near Pripya, Ukraine,
nuclear energy remains a hot topic. Some climate scientists argue
nuclear power is essential to combating climate change, while others
point to accidents like Chernobyl and Fukushima as evidence that nuclear
is unsafe. There is also a fierce debate over the right level of
regulation versus rising costs, including the rising cost of
decommissioning plants that are no longer active.
Read the Bulletin to stay up to date on the most recent research and commentary on this controversial energy source. Here’s a sample of our most recent work on the subject: Chernobyl, Fukushima, and preparedness for a "next one": Authors assess improvements over the last 30 years in preparedness for a nuclear power disaster—and debate how preparedness should be further improved.
