A fungus at the site of the nuclear disaster has adapted to 'feed' on levels of radiation that would be lethal to most life forms.
Cladosporium sphaerospermum is a highly resilient black fungus that scientists have observed growing on the walls of the Number 4 reactor, which triggered the explosion and fire that destroyed the Chernobyl Plant in 1986.
Scientists studying the fungus found it has adapted to use radiation as a source of energy, not unlike how plants derive energy from the sun.
