Why are nuclear safety experts raising the alarm about Chernobyl 40 years on from the initial disaster? In 2022, the Ukrainian plant became part of a war zone and last year a Russian drone caused a massive fire when it hit the roof of the steel dome that keeps the plant’s radioactive substances sealed off from the world. Ukraine patched up the hole but needs €500mn for a permanent fix. Until then, experts believe Chernobyl is another accident waiting to happen.
