Fungi That 'Eat' Radiation Are Growing on the Walls of Chernobyl's Ruined Reactors

It's time for new energy, no one needs nuclear energy anymore

I dont think nuclear power is the problem. I mean all the nuclear power related disasters have been because of human errors or natural disasters. Nuclear power is actually very eco friendly if the toxic waste can be managed properly.

I thought this was so cool, when I read about it.  But I'm wondering, did this fungi that started to grow, develop there naturally on its own?  Or is it some kind of fungi that scientists discovered and put in the affected area after realizing this would be a potentially better method to deal with the process of fixing a really bad situation?  I always suggested, that Mother Nature always finds a way to recover, whether it be calm or hostile response.  I'm just wondering if she did it on her own or did we (humans) intervene?

I think the article says that they discovered the fungi so it prolly started growing from itself. Nature has its way of fixing itself

There's definitely a lot of truth in what you're saying. But I'm more of an adherent of solar energy or energy created by wind currents.

Yes solar energy is very good. We just need to do more research on it. The sun gives out as much energy in 1 day as the entire world uses in 1 year. If we can capture that energy it would be extremly good. Right now a solar cell can only capture about 15% of the energy that hits it.

thanks u so much xxxxxxx

Life really does find a way, it seems.

This fungi could, ideally speaking, be used to assist in the breaking down of preexisting nuclear wastes.

This is a bump

This is really cool, the problem is that this kind of fungi are not really fixing the thing but are colonising places where they were not supposed to be, so more than a solution is another expression of the problem

I am not even sure if this is good news or not tbh.
