Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear accidents: similarities and differences

HNPS Advances in Nuclear Physics, 2023
During the almost seven decades of use of nuclear fission for electric energy production two major nuclear accidents took place, i.e., the 1986 Chernobyl accident and the 2011 Fukushima one. They were caused by reactor power-surge and loss-of-coolant, respectively. Both accidents occurred during hot power reactor shutdown and had identical root causes,

Dwelling in a post‐fallout landscape: re‐shaping and sustaining life in a former evacuation zone in Fukushima Habiter après la catastrophe : redonner forme au monde et entretenir la vie dans une ancienne zone évacuée à Fukushima

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 32, Issue 2, Page 434-455, June 2026.
This article explores the activities of daily life in a village neighbouring the TEPCO nuclear power plant in Fukushima. It argues that one of the potentials of taking a dwelling perspective – a phenomenological approach to living within the ecological and social environments – emerges most compellingly within a polluted landscape.

Unraveling Long‐Term Microsporidia Diversity and Dynamics in Lake Aydat (France) Through Paleogenomics

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Sedimentary ancient DNA study revealed 138 years of hidden microsporidian (unicellular eukaryotic parasite) diversity and host–parasite dynamics in a freshwater lake. A major community shift in the 2000s, linked to anthropogenic pressures, shows how paleogenomics reveals the diversity and long‐term ecological trajectories of these previously overlooked
