Welcome to the community for independent journalism, a place to post and engage with diverse, free news media from around the world.

The rundown:

  1. Posts should link to a current* article from a credible, independent news source. If there's a paywall, please put the official link in the URL box and add an archive link in the text body of your post. Blogs, editorials, listicles and reports are welcome.

  2. Post title should be the article headline or best fit. Add this tag if an account is needed for access: [sign-in required.]

  3. No misinformation. Provide sources when making substantial or potentially destructive claims.

  4. Be civil. Be respectful. Be cool. Instance rules apply.

  5. Tag NSFW and apply content warnings at your discretion.

*Independent journalism is generally free from government and corporate interests and is not controlled by a major media conglomerate. "Independence" is a gradient, so use your best judgement when posting.

*Current depends on whether new, publicly available information has been released since the article has last been updated. When in doubt please add the published date to the title in a tag [like this.]

The IAEA director general, Rafael Grossi, said an inspection mission “confirmed that the [protective structure] had lost its primary safety functions, including the confinement capability, but also found that there was no permanent damage to its load-bearing structures or monitoring systems”.

Grossi said some repairs had been carried out “but comprehensive restoration remains essential to prevent further degradation and ensure long-term nuclear safety”.

When did Chernobyl become Chornobyl?

Chernobyl is the Russian name, Chornobyl is the Ukrainian name

At least this one got the alphabet right. I've seen it written with a "4" and then strange alien glyphs a few times.
