Depending on the nature and extent of the damage, the plant could experience one or more core meltdowns or spent nuclear fuel pool fires, which could trigger a radiological release rivaling that of the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi accident or even the larger release from the 1986 Chernobyl accident. How rapidly could this sequence of events begin?

Antihelium-4 was created for the first time in 2011, in particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at the Brookhaven National Laboratory. According to theory, matter and antimatter should have been created in equal amounts in the Big Bang, and subsequently all annihilated, leaving a universe full of radiation and no matter.
