The Chernobyl disaster strikes a second (and a third?)

Opinion: The cessation of investment in nuclear energy after the Chernobyl disaster increased the dependence of European countries on fossil fuels from hostile and semi-hostile countries, such as Russia - which allowed Russia to invade Ukraine unhindered, stops the countries from standing by the Ukrainians - and may even lead to a nuclear disaster Now that Russia is occupying active and decommissioned nuclear reactors

This visualization shows a possible configuration of a power plant located on the sea and is based on design work by Jacobo Bongiorno and other researchers from the Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering at MIT. Like oil drilling rigs, the structure will include a residential area and a helipad for transportation to and from the site. Imaging, Jack Jurewitz, MIT-NSE
