An experiment at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine caused the reactor to overheat and explode, sending a plume of radioactive material into the atmosphere. The explosion occurred after a failed emergency shutdown during a turbine test, which was undertaken despite incomplete inspections and budget cuts compromising safety. The blast and resulting fires forced the evacuation of Chernobyl and left surrounding areas contaminated with radiation expected to remain for over 300 years.

Chernobyl Disaster - by ALOKRANJAN.ORG.INALOK RANJAN
The Chernobyl disaster was a catastrophic nuclear accident that occurred on April 26, 1986, at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant near Pripyat, in northern Ukraine (then part of the Soviet Union). It is considered the worst nuclear power plant accident in history.
**Cause and Immediate Impact:**
The disaster was triggered by a sudden power output surge during a safety test in Reactor 4 of the Chernobyl plant. This caused a massive explosion and fire, which released large quantities of radioactive particles and gases into the atmosphere.
The immediate impact was devastating. The explosion killed two plant workers instantly and led to the rapid deaths of 28 firefighters and plant workers due to acute radiation syndrome (ARS). The fallout spread radioactive materials across much of Europe, leading to widespread contamination and forcing the evacuation of thousands of people from nearby areas, including the city of Pripyat.
**Casualties and Aftermath:**
The full scale of casualties and long-term health effects remains a topic of debate, but it is estimated that thousands of people, including emergency responders and cleanup workers (known as liquidators), suffered from radiation-related illnesses such as cancer, thyroid disorders, and other health problems.
The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, a 30-kilometer radius around the plant, remains largely uninhabited due to high levels of radiation. The long-term environmental and health impacts of the disaster continue to be studied and monitored.
**Response and Legacy:**
The response to the disaster was initially characterized by misinformation and inadequate safety measures. However, efforts to contain the immediate fallout, stabilize the reactor, and clean up the contaminated areas were eventually undertaken, often at great risk to those involved.
The Chernobyl disaster had far-reaching consequences beyond Ukraine. It raised awareness about the risks associated with nuclear power and prompted improvements in nuclear safety standards and regulations worldwide. It also influenced public opinion and policy debates surrounding energy production and environmental protection.
In popular culture, the Chernobyl disaster has been the subject of numerous documentaries, books, and films, further highlighting its significance as a pivotal event in the history of nuclear power and global environmental awareness.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*

2. A power plant 15 Kilometers from
Chernobyl exploded after a failed
experiment on the reactor. The turbine-
experiment lead to the failure of the
emergency shutoff system, causing the
core to overheat, blowing the top off of
the facility, sending tons of nuclear-
radiated lead, ash, and concrete ash
into the atmosphere.
4. The liquid cooling decomposed into
water and hydrogen because of forged
and incomplete inspections of the
facility. The facility was undergoing
budget cuts and forged inspections to
maintain maximum efficiency providing
power to the surrounding areas.
6. After the explosion, fires raged
throughout the surrounding area;
causing extensive damage. The
combination of toxic smoke and ash sent
the city of Chernobyl into evacuation.
7. Hotspots surrounding Chernobyl,
radiated areas, will remain ‘hot’ for over
300 years, and the explosion eliminates
any agriculture in and around
Chernobyl.
The whole incident deducted 2.3 billion
dollars a year.
