Drones and robots might type a part of a brand new radiation-monitoring system on the Chernobyl energy station in Ukraine, as scientists on the plant worry that present sensor networks constructed after the nuclear accident in 1986 have been at the very least partially destroyed by Russian troops.
When Russia seized the Chernobyl plant in February, the sensors monitoring gamma radiation ranges rapidly went offline and most remained that method. A spike in ranges seen on 24 February, the day troops …
