Feral dogs living near Chernobyl differ genetically from their ancestors who survived the 1986 nuclear plant disaster—but these variations do not appear to stem from radioactivity-induced mutations.

For nearly four decades, the stray dogs of Chernobyl have lived and bred in one of the most contaminated landscapes on Earth, absorbing low doses of radiation that would keep most people far away.

For nearly 40 years, the Chernobyl exclusion zone (CEZ) has been a laboratory for scientists to study the long-term effects of radiation exposure. One of the ongoing subjects in this unintentional ...

The Chernobyl exclusion zone has become a magnet for lurid images that seem to show nature warped by radiation, from ...

Radiation-induced mutation is unlikely to have induced genetic differences between dog populations in Chornobyl City and the nearby Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Radiation-induced mutation is ...

In 1986, the Chernobyl nuclear reactor in the Soviet Union, now in Ukraine, exploded, spewing massive amounts of radioactive material into the environment. Almost four decades later, the stray dogs ...

Parents who were exposed to radiation from the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear reactor disaster did not pass genetic changes caused by radiation exposure on to their children, a new study has found. Parents ...
