Revolutionary Technology installed at Chernobyl

The Swiss company Exlterra proposed to install new revolutionary technology at Chernobyl. They announced this on 35th remembrance of the Chernobyl accident.

What is Chernobyl Accident?

Chernobyl accident is a nuclear accident that happened in 1986 in the Chernobyl Nuclear power plant. The nuclear reactor was flawed and therefore the resulting steam and fire led to the nuclear explosion.

The revolutionary technique of the Nucleus Separation Passive System(NSPS) has been installed at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.  NSPS is the system that accelerates radioactive decay by harnessing the existing energy in the Earth.

The installation of NSPS has proved to be beneficial. The radioactive pollution in the soil has decreased by 47%. The radioactive pollution in the air has decreased by 37%. This has happened one year after the installation of NSPS technology.

The company Exlterra claimed that they have decontaminated 1 hectare of plot in the radioactive exclusion zone in the Ukraine nuclear power plant.

Furthermore, they plan to develop a series of decontamination technologies to reduce the radioactive pollution in the air.
