Podcasts about Chernobyl

REFLECTIONS is a short-form feature within The Photowalk podcast, offering thoughtful observations on a creative life and the themes that we so often talk about on Fridays: perfectionism, impostor syndrome, comparison, confidence and more. It's a pause at the start of the week to recalibrate, recorded in the studio between the walks. Each Monday, you'll find Reflections on The Photowalk podcast feed, like a creative reset to start the week, and from Tuesday to Friday, it continues exclusively on our member-supported channel, The Extra Mile, for those who walk a little further with us. Today, I reflect upon those places I'd like to photograph, one in particular, that is certainly off the menu. All links will be on the show page, my sincere thanks to Arthelper, who sponsor this show, plus our Extra Milers, without whom we wouldn't be walking each week. WHY: A Sketchbook of Life is available here.

O mundo assinala nesta quarta-feira, 6 de Agosto, os 80 anos do bombardeamento nuclear norte-americano sobre a cidade de Hiroshima que precipitou a rendição do Japão e o fim da guerra no Pacífico. Um acontecimento trágico - com mais de 100 mil mortos e impactos duradouros na saúde e no ambiente - que mudou para sempre a História. Num contexto de apelos ao abandono das armas nucleares e das guerras na Ucrânia e no Médio Oriente, António Sá Fonseca, especialista em Física Nuclear, denuncia o "abuso perpetrado pelos países que possuem armamento nuclear" e alerta para a necessidade de se estabelecer uma “ordem mundial mais estável”.   Em 6 de Agosto de 1945, os Estados Unidos lançaram uma bomba atómica sobre a cidade de Hiroshima, matando cerca de 140 mil pessoas. Três dias depois, uma bomba idêntica atingiu Nagasaki e matou mais 74 mil. Oitenta anos depois, que memória resta desta tragédia nuclear? É uma memória trágica. Quem visita o museu de Hiroshima percebe que foi uma tragédia imensa. Corpos derretidos, queimados, uma área enorme dizimada pela explosão da bomba nuclear. Essa realidade está bem patente no museu. Acho que é uma visita que todos os líderes mundiais deviam fazer, para terem noção do sofrimento e da desgraça que esse acontecimento representou. É uma bomba que atinge todos. Atinge os socorristas, os médicos, a população, os militares... É algo indiscriminado que paralisa completamente uma cidade, num raio que depende agora da potência da bomba. Pode ir dos cinco quilómetros aos 20, ou mesmo 50, conforme a potência. Hoje em dia, é algo perfeitamente devastador. Um acontecimento trágico que mudou para sempre a face do mundo. Este episódio acabou por determinar as futuras relações internacionais? Sim, para o bem e para o mal. As bombas nucleares são dissuasoras. De certa maneira, quem as possui consegue dissuadir os seus opositores de atacar, porque sabe que pode responder com armamento nuclear. Por outro lado, cria uma certa dose de impunidade para quem as tem. Isso está bem patente na guerra entre a Ucrânia e a Rússia, ou mesmo nas tensões entre Israel e Teerão. Na realidade, o Irão sabe que só será respeitado se tiver armas nucleares, e Israel não quer que o Irão as tenha - quando, na verdade, Israel já possui várias. Isto torna o mundo aparentemente instável e, de certa forma, perigoso. Oitenta anos depois do bombardeamento nuclear de Hiroshima e Nagasaki, o mundo parece fazer tábua rasa deste acontecimento, com vários países a modernizarem o seu armamento nuclear. A guerra da Rússia contra a Ucrânia contribuiu também para esta escalada? Acho que sim. Quem tem armas nucleares acha que tem poucas. A China, por exemplo, resolveu aumentar o seu arsenal. A Coreia do Norte fez o mesmo, porque sente necessidade de proteger o seu regime. E os países que não têm perguntam-se se também não deviam ter. Durante a governação de Biden, notou-se algum receio em escalar o apoio à Ucrânia, justamente por medo de que a Rússia pudesse usar armas nucleares e desencadear uma catástrofe global. Ainda recentemente se voltou a falar dessa escalada com o Presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, e o antigo chefe de Estado russo, Dmitri Medvedev... Entre Donald Trump e Dmitri Medvedev, trata-se de golpes de teatro - e nem sempre se percebe bem onde começa o teatro e onde acaba. Mas sim, o mundo está cada vez mais complicado. Há ainda as tensões no Indo-Pacífico - Taiwan, Mar do Sul da China - que colocam os Estados Unidos e a China em rota de colisão. O risco de um conflito nuclear é hoje uma realidade? Eu não gostaria de pensar nisso, porque essa possibilidade representa o fim da humanidade. Se, por acaso, os Estados Unidos, a China ou a Rússia começarem a lançar bombas nucleares, a civilização poderá ficar altamente comprometida. Depois de se lançarem várias bombas nucleares, gera-se um inverno nuclear -durante meses, ou até anos, a Terra deixa de receber luz solar, porque uma nuvem de poeira bloqueia o Sol. Isso impossibilita a produção de alimentos e o cultivo da terra. Há ainda a questão radioactiva, que afecta as populações que forem alvo dos ataques. É urgente estabelecer-se um novo acordo para eliminar totalmente as armas nucleares ou, pelo menos, criar uma ordem mundial mais estável. Porém, vejo uma certa instabilidade, com países a abusarem do facto de possuírem armamento nuclear, acreditando que não podem ser atacados. Há aqui uma guerra de medo e de contenção. Estas ambições desafiam também o regime da não-proliferação de armas nucleares? Sim, o regime de não-proliferação pode ficar cada vez mais comprometido. O Paquistão, por exemplo, foi em tempos acusado de ajudar a Coreia do Norte a desenvolver armas nucleares. Esta regra da não-proliferação pode ser contestada por alguns países. O Irão, desde sempre, defende o seu direito a possuir a bomba nuclear. Apesar de as autoridades iranianas negarem, sabe-se que tinham um programa que poderia conduzir à construção de uma arma. Há também o equilíbrio nuclear entre a Índia e o Paquistão, que continua frágil, especialmente com os episódios de violência na Caxemira. Como se define o direito a possuir armamento nuclear? Porque é que uns países podem tê-lo e outros não? É uma situação instável. Quem tem a bomba nuclear não quer que outros tenham. Mas como impedir o uso do nuclear para fins pacíficos - por exemplo, na medicina ou na produção de energia? Quem tem centrais nucleares precisa de combustível. Esse combustível é enriquecido a 3 ou 4%. Já para armamento nuclear, é necessário enriquecê-lo acima dos 90%. O processo exige uma estrutura tecnológica complexa, com centrifugadoras para atingir concentrações elevadas de urânio-235 e, eventualmente, alcançar a "críticalidade" necessária para produzir uma bomba. Mas essa é uma decisão que deveria ser tomada ao nível das Nações Unidas - embora, depois, possa ser quebrada por acordos bilaterais, secretos ou oficiosos. No mundo em que vivemos, não sei como se atinge um novo equilíbrio. Seria preciso muito bom senso, uma nova ordem na Rússia, eventualmente no Irão e também nos Estados Unidos. Com a emergência de eliminar os combustíveis fósseis, alguns países estão a retomar os planos para investir em energia nuclear - como a França, a Dinamarca e até o Japão. Os acidentes de Chernobyl (1986) e Fukushima (2011) mostraram os riscos. Os países estão conscientes desses perigos ou a energia nuclear é, de facto, uma opção viável? É uma opção viável para países grandes, com elevadas necessidades energéticas e que querem descarbonizar. No Japão, seria complicado apostar apenas em energia eólica ou solar, por causa da geografia e das convicções ambientalistas - o país tem uma grande ligação à natureza. Assim, as centrais nucleares surgem como uma hipótese. O Japão está, de facto, a reabrir algumas que foram encerradas após Fukushima. As autoridades estão a rever todos os sistemas e protocolos de segurança, tal como se fez na Europa e na América, com os chamados testes de stress a eventos externos súbitos. O objectivo é aumentar a segurança e a robustez das centrais. Mas ainda recentemente vimos um sismo, com alerta de tsunami, a ameaçar novamente o Japão. Sim, mas hoje em dia as centrais nucleares têm suficiente robustez para resistirem a certos fenómenos. Construíram-se muros mais altos, para que os sistemas de arrefecimento não fiquem vulneráveis a inundações -que foi, precisamente, o que causou o desastre de Fukushima. Na altura, a barreira construída era demasiado baixa, por razões financeiras, e mesmo assim a central recebeu autorização para funcionar. O problema não foi provocado pelas ondas em si, mas a falha no sistema de arrefecimento. Foi, claramente, uma falha do órgão regulador japonês. Hoje, as centrais são mais robustas, e as futuras ainda mais - com sistemas que impedem o sobreaquecimento, ou que desligam automaticamente, garantindo segurança mesmo em caso de falhas.

Martin Cruz Smith (1942-2025, in conversation with Richard Wolinsky, recorded in the KPFA studio December 9, 2004 while on tour for his novel “Wolves Eat Dogs.” The great noir and detective author Martin Cruz Smith died of Parkinsons Disease on July 11, 2025 at the age of 82.  A journalist originally, and then a writer of paperback fiction under a variety of pseudonyms, he began writing under his own name and became known following the publication of a horror novel, Nightwing, in 1977. Though it wasn't until 1981 with the release of Gorky Park, a detective novel set in Soviet Russia and featuring investigator Arkady Renko, that he hit best-seller stardom. Over the next few years, he alternated non-series novels with entries in the Renko series, all to much acclaim. “Wolves Eat Dogs” is partially set in Ukraine, in and around Chernobyl. In the interview, Bill Smith discusses his own trip to Kyiv and Ukraine, and the politics of the early 2000s, which offers insight into what's happening in 2025. There are four Martin Cruz Smith interviews. The first two, both co-hosted with Richard A. Lupoff for Probabilities, were recorded in 1990 while on tour for Polar Star, the sequel to Gorky Park, and then again in 1996 for the award-winning stand-alone novel, Rose. These interviews have yet to be digitized. This is the third interview. The fourth, for his novel “Tatiana,” was recorded on December 9, 2013. At the time of his death, Martin Cruz Smith had written 15 early novels under a variety of pseudonyms, eleven novels in the Renko series, and seven stand alone novels. The final Renko novel, “Hotel Ukraine,” was published shortly before his death. This interview has never been posted, or aired, in its entirety. The post Martin Cruz Smith (1942-2025) Acclaimed Noir and Literary Novelist appeared first on KPFA.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Alexis von Koniglow about her new novel, The Exclusion Zone (Wolsak & Wynn, 2025).  About The Exclusion Zone:  She would harness fear. And this terrifying place would help her do it. Renya, a scientist who studies how people react to fear, flees a troubled marriage to conduct research on the scientists working in the “exclusion zone” around Chernobyl. In the eerily silent forests surrounding the research station, she finds more is haunting her than the dangers of radiation exposure. As she gathers data from her colleagues and probes historical records of the Chernobyl disaster, unsettling questions rise to the surface. Who is funding her research? Why are all the scientists' findings off? And what do those who stalk the ruins of the abandoned city nearby want? In this atmospheric tale, Alexis von Konigslow deftly weaves the struggles of women in science with the impact of politics, both past and present, on people and on the environment. Part ghost story, part literary thriller, The Exclusion Zone is a mesmerizing story that reminds us all to listen to our hearts as well as the earth.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Alexis von Koniglow about her new novel, The Exclusion Zone (Wolsak & Wynn, 2025).  About The Exclusion Zone:  She would harness fear. And this terrifying place would help her do it. Renya, a scientist who studies how people react to fear, flees a troubled marriage to conduct research on the scientists working in the “exclusion zone” around Chernobyl. In the eerily silent forests surrounding the research station, she finds more is haunting her than the dangers of radiation exposure. As she gathers data from her colleagues and probes historical records of the Chernobyl disaster, unsettling questions rise to the surface. Who is funding her research? Why are all the scientists' findings off? And what do those who stalk the ruins of the abandoned city nearby want? In this atmospheric tale, Alexis von Konigslow deftly weaves the struggles of women in science with the impact of politics, both past and present, on people and on the environment. Part ghost story, part literary thriller, The Exclusion Zone is a mesmerizing story that reminds us all to listen to our hearts as well as the earth.

Quintin Lake is my guest today, sharing stories from the literal edges. From 2015 to 2021, he walked the entire coastline of mainland Britain, covering all 11,000 km of it, creating The Perimeter, a six-year photographic journey that explores light, isolation, design, and the quiet drama of the country's outermost margins. A fine art and architectural photographer, Quintin's eye has always been drawn to form and structure. We also talk about his personal work, including Absent Pyramid, a study of Chernobyl 21 years later, and Cold War Spaces of Fear. Quintin's work is marked by precision, stillness, and a deep attentiveness to place. In this conversation, we explore endurance and creativity, the solitude of long walks, and what it means to photograph with intention.  Also on the show today from the mailbag: Jade Lee has an idea for our 500th episode that allows you to participate, wherever you are in this world.

While the war in Ukraine continues to grab news headlines, the daily lives of Ukrainians remain opaque and mostly anonymous. What is it really like to live there during wartime? Historian Danielle Leavitt answers that question in her book, By the Second Spring: Seven Lives and One Year of the War in Ukraine. By going beyond familiar portraits of wartime heroism and victimhood, Leavitt reveals the human experience of the conflict. A U.S. citizen who grew up in Ukraine, Leavitt draws on her deep familiarity with the country and online diaries to track a diverse group of Ukrainians through the first year of the war. Among others, she introduces Vitaly, whose plans to open a coffee bar in a Kyiv suburb fall apart when the Russian army marches through his town and his apartment building is split in two by a rocket; Anna, who drops out of the police academy and begins a tumultuous relationship with a soldier; and Polina, a fashion-industry insider who returns home from Los Angeles to organize relief. To illuminate the complex resurgence of Ukraine's national spirit, Leavitt also tells the story of Volodymyr Shovkoshitniy—a nuclear engineer at Chernobyl who went on to lead a daring campaign in the late 1980s to return the bodies of three Ukrainian writers who'd died in a Soviet gulag. Leavitt offers an interior history of Europe's largest land war in seventy-five years—one that goes beyond the headlines about the conflict. Danielle Leavitt holds a PhD in history from Harvard University, where she has been a fellow at the Ukrainian Research Institute. She grew up in both Ukraine and the United States, and currently lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan. By the Second Spring is her first book. Sasha Senderovich is Associate Professor of Slavic, Jewish, and International Studies at the University of Washington. He's the author of How the Soviet Jew Was Made (2022), and co-editor and co-translator of In the Shadow of the Holocaust: Short Fiction by Jewish Writers from the Soviet Union (2026).

In this haunting journey, we venture into the radioactive silence of Pripyat, Ukraine—a city forever frozen by the Chernobyl disaster. What was once a vibrant Soviet town is now a ghostly time capsule, filled with eerily preserved reminders of a life abandoned in fear.We uncover the true story behind the meltdown, the evacuations, and the lingering radiation... but also the dark legends whispered by explorers who claim the dead never truly left. From mutated creatures to shadowy figures said to roam the ruins, we ask: Is something still watching in the Zone of Alienation?Explore the line between environmental horror and supernatural speculation as we unravel the mystery of a city trapped in time.

Matt Crawford speaks with author George Zavershinskiy about his book, The Atomic Shepard. Amid Cold War tensions, a gifted nuclear physicist – poised to become the future father of new weapons – shockingly gains religious faith. Seeking to confess this revelation, he enters the priesthood, finding purpose but facing myriad trials. His startling 1970s conversion from secret Soviet weapon scientist to devout priest elicits incomprehension and suspicion on all sides. Colleagues shun him as studies now intermix seminary training with Siberia's nuclear work. His transfer to a lowly role with barred access quashes the prestige of high-stakes research. Friends and family largely abandon the zealous convert, except for his steadfast wife and parents. Ostracized yet undaunted, Father Alexander persists in his ecclesiastical calling even unto Chernobyl's radioactive inferno, ministering to desperate liquidators staring mortality in the face. There, on the fourth block, he was given a nickname – ‘Atomic Shepherd'. Upon returning to Moscow, few of them will reach old age. The ‘Atomic Shepherd' is the last to leave among his spiritual friends – he still has time to complete his confession.
