The new sarcophagus over the Chernobyl nuclear power plant
Shelter-2
The sarcophagus hastily built over the fourth unit of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant 23 years ago, on the brink of destruction. Old walls and roof of the radiation and may miss about to collapse. From the new wave radiation of Chernobyl and its surrounding regions of Ukraine, Russia and Europe will save the installation of a new sarcophagus.
Steel "coffin" that will bury dangerous radiation for another 100-200 years old, will be installed by 2012. The project demonstrates the saving of the roof, it will be pulled down over the fourth unit on rails and rolling stock will remain so in the future, the unit can still be dismantled.
The building will be erected at a distance from the block number 4
- The sarcophagus, which is hastily built in 1986, "full of holes", - said Vince Novak, director of nuclear safety at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development in London, which deals with the financing of work on the wrecked reactor unit. - Then simply poured concrete on top of the building chadyaschie radiation. But through the holes and cracks continued to emanate radiation. And through the same hole rain got inside, that complicated the safety of hazardous substances.
- Special hazards inspired us to the western wall, which is very much tipped - continues Novak. - Now specialists to install two metal towers that it propped up outside. We have strengthened and the roof, and now no longer rainwater penetrates.
Dome moved to the problematic reactor on rails
In order to ward off the danger of a radiation leak, left to build a dome. This project deals with the German company.

"Coffin" for the block number four, a steel hangar height of over 100 meters. The sarcophagus will be built up at a distance of 100 meters from the unit, and then slid on rails on top of him.
Damaged buildings will be completely closed from the environment of the new "roof»
Area
Academician of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Doctor of Biological Sciences, the chairman of the National Commission for Radiation Safety Dmitry Grodzinskiy said that contamination of vegetation in this area has not diminished with time.
A huge sarcophagus made from stock height to below it could carry out reconstruction work
- All radioactivity is now moved from the soil surface to deeper layers - says Grodzinskiy. - Increasing the territory of woods and herbs, berries and mushrooms receive radiation through the root system, and therefore increases the risk of penetration and hit some radioactive products to the man.
