Ukraine plans nuclear expansion as Chernobyl disaster marks 40 years | DW News

As Ukraine prepares to mark 40 years since the world’s worst nuclear disaster — the Chernobyl meltdown — the country has announced plans to significantly expand its nuclear energy output by 2050.

Nearly four decades after the accident, Russia’s war in Ukraine — including troop movements and strikes near the site — has reignited fears of radioactive contamination at Chernobyl. Located close to the border with Belarus, the plant sits on a particularly sensitive stretch of Ukraine’s defensive line. Shaun Burnie, a senior nuclear specialist at Greenpeace Ukraine, shared his assessment with DW.
