Chernobylite


Chernobylite is a compound, a crystalline zirconium silicate with a high content of uranium as a solid solution.
It was discovered in the corium produced in the Chernobyl disaster, a lava-like glassy material formed in the nuclear meltdown of reactor core 4.
Chernobylite is highly radioactive due to its high uranium content and contamination by fission products.
