https://www.afinalwarning.com/517985.html (Natural News) Scientists raise the possibility of another nuclear accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, as fission reactions are smoldering once again in the nuclear reactor that melted down in 1986. This is according to the Institute for Safety Problems of Nuclear Power Plants (ISPNPP) in Ukraine. In a discussion last week about plans to dismantle the reactor, the institute’s Anatolii Doroshenko reported that sensors are currently tracking a growing number of neutrons streaming from an inaccessible room. If neutron levels go up further, they can set off a nuclear fission chain reaction. In a nuclear chain reaction, neutrons split the nuclei of nearby atoms, releasing additional neutrons. These, in turn, can split other atomic nuclei, generating more neutrons. When a nuclear chain reaction goes out of control, it produces a lot of energy all at once, causing a nuclear explosion.
