Doomed Chernobyl reactor to be buried in giant steel coffin

Posted by Matt in April 27th, 2008

Twenty-two years after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, work is under way on a colossal new shelter to cover the ruins and deadly radioactive contents of the exploded Soviet-era power plant.

The explosion at reactor No. 4 on April 26, 1986 was the world’s worst nuclear accident, spewing radiation over a large swath of the former Soviet Union and much of northern Europe. It directly contaminated an area roughly half the size of Italy, displacing hundreds of thousands of people.

Anniversary of the Chernobyl Nuclear Plant Catastrophe
ANCHOR:
On April 26, 1986, reactor number four at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine exploded. Thousands of lives were lost in a nuclear meltdown that sent highly radioactive fallout into the atmosphere across international borders. It is not the disaster itself that Russians talk about most, but the slow process of recovering. Our correspondents from Saint Petersburg have more details. STORY:
Residents of Saint Petersburg gathered at the Victims of Radiation Catastrophes monument last Saturday to commemorate those who died during the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant explosion. 22 years later this catastrophe is still having an impact on people's lives and health. [Mr Kuleshov, Mine Worker]: male
"I am cutter, mine worker. We were near the reactor at that time. This was a...

On 26 April 1986 at 01:23:40 a.m. reactor number four at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant located in the former Soviet Union near Pripyat in Ukraine exploded.

On 26 April 1986 at 01:23:40 a.m. reactor number four at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant located in the Soviet Union near Pripyat in Ukraine exploded.

The plume drifted over parts of the western Soviet Union, Eastern Europe,...

Chernobyl - Pripyat - Ukraine - August 2007
Words from Ian Gruber: "A brief account of myself and Dave Garton's day-trip to the Chernobyl nuclear exlusion zone in the Ukraine (August 2007) with SoloEast travel (http://www.tourchernobyl.com) - taking in: The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station complex The crudely patched-up Reactor #4 The abandoned worker's town of Pripyat The liquidator vehicle graveyard It was an eerie and at times unsettling experience, but I'd recommend it to anyone!
