How to repair the damaged shell of the nuclear plant in Chernobyl?
Almost two months ago, a Russian drone broke through the expensive shell of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, which had an accident in 1986. The danger is not immediate, but because of the radiation, the sheath needs to be repaired. And that is neither easy nor cheap

How Serbia is rushing towards a nuclear power plant
The French company Ezis, which infamously supervised the railway station in Novi Sad, is now, by order of the state, questioning how Serbia can build a nuclear power plant. "If we're lucky, maybe it won't cost us the lives of our citizens," says nuclear physics professor Miodrag Krmar

Radioactive monitoring
How do you imagine horror? The Ministry of Mining and Energy, for example, engaged the French company "Ežis", whose daughter company is connected with the fall of the canopy in Novi Sad, to draw up a plan for the construction of a nuclear power plant in Serbia.

Life after the moratorium
Serbia is ready for a nuclear marriage, but as with any courtship, all kinds of questions are open - the most important is certainly with whom, although there is no shortage of candidates for the groom, as evidenced by the agreements on nuclear cooperation with both France and Russia. However, the question of whether Serbia, without personnel, is mature enough for this adventure is also important

What does a progressive know what a nuclear power plant is
At the stormy session of the Assembly, among other things, amendments to the Law on Energy were adopted, opening up the possibility of building a nuclear power plant in Serbia. All this takes place in the days when the president, together with the tabloids, sows the fear of the outbreak of a nuclear war. Does Serbia even need a nuclear power plant?

Construction of a nuclear plant in Serbia: Not at all, maybe or absolutely yes
There is no fear that things could go wrong if Serbia were to start implementing the nuclear program project, says nuclear physicist Vladimir Udovicic for "Vreme". Not everyone is so convinced that nuclear power plants are the best solution for Serbia, while the law that prohibited their construction until now is being changed

Serbia's nuclear breakthrough: Adopted Memorandum of Understanding in the field of application of nuclear energy development
If Serbia were to lift the moratorium on nuclear energy, the basic question is where, if that happens, the first Serbian nuclear power plant would be built. Experiences from the immediate neighborhood indicate that nuclear plants are being built on the banks of the Danube and the Sava. There is no place in Europe that is more than 500 kilometers from the nearest reactor

Demolition of the Nova Kahovka dam: Playing with a nuclear disaster
The consequence of the collapse of the Djibouti dam is that the water level in the reservoir near the largest European nuclear power plant, Zaporozhye, which serves to cool the reactor and fuel, is dropping at a rate of 5 centimeters per hour. If the flow of cooling water were to stop, there would be a meltdown of the reactor and a nuclear disaster
