Beyond Nuclear International digest

MONDAY, MAY 25, 2026 Beyond Nuclear International Weekly Digest Drones have hit the Chornobyl reactor dome, the Kursk reactor in Russia and close to the Zaporizhzhia reactors in Ukraine. Now a nuclear plant in the UAE -- outside a war zone -- has been targeted. We look at the danger armed drones and missile attacks on the battlefield present to nuclear power plants. BEYOND NUCLEAR INTERNATIONAL Drone danger Drones in battlezones are a threat to nuclear power plants. There are 15 reactors in Ukraine in danger from the Russian invasion there. Armed drones have landed at the 6-reactor Zaporizhzhia site and blown a whole in the protective dome over the destroyed Chornobyl reactor. A Ukrainian drone hit Russia's Kursk reactor. Now one has struck the UAE's Barakah nuclear power plant even though the UAE is not directly involved in the US-Israel war against Iran. And autonomous drones are coming. We need reactors out of war zones. The only way to ensure that is to abolish their use.
