Chernobyl Reactor 4 Sarcophagus


Chernobyl 4 reactor.
Look around the city is abandoned.

On Saturday April 26, 1986 at 1:23:58 a.m., during a dangerous and misguided test, reactor 4 suffered two catastrophic steam explosions that resulted in a fire, a series of additional explosions, and a nuclear meltdown.

Авария на Чернобыльской АЭС и ее последствия. (Официальные данные)

Авария на Чернобыльской АЭС (ЧАЭС) произошла в ночь с 25 на 26 апреля 1986 г. Описанию причин аварии, ее развитию и ликвидации ее последствий посвящено большое число официальных и корреспондентских публикаций, помещенных в широкой прессе. Ниже будут приведены данные из официальной «Информации об аварии на Чернобыльской АЭС и ее последствиях...», представленной советской делегацией на проведенном в Вене 25 - 29 августа 1986 г. совещании экспертов МАГАТЭ.

The reactor sarcofagus was designed to last 20 years. It can fall down from one time to another. If it happend the water under the soil will be contaminated. Once again the government will not do nothing. The water reserves of Europe will be in danger if the sarcofagus fall down. Every winter the snow add extra weight to the structure. Some people say that you can hear the sounds of the metal under the structure when snow is too heavy.

There is a 600m plan to build a masive structor over the sarcofagus.

its going to be a massive arch taller than the statue of liberty and long enough to cover the whole plant. they are building several sections at a time and are going to slide each section over the plant and then seal them together. but i wonder what will happen when the reactor collaspes underneath the sealed arch. would the water table still become contaminated?

The sarcophagus sounds like a caged Monster....ready to barge out anytime!! Better to build a strong containment soon.

One man who in the reactor when it exploded. His body has never been found. That's part of the reason why it was called a sarcophagus.

BREAKING NEWS:

Sarcophagus has partially collapsed, killing a man working on the arch. It hasn't released much radiation, but it's released a bit. Five more people died when they were building temporary supports inside the sarcophagus so it doesn't collapse more. During the support work, the body of the person who died in the explosion in 1986 was found, all rotten and...green! The radiation released wasn't much, the radiation only reached half a mile away.

Oh dear. Now they need to be extra quick!

So it also seems Mibbs Man the Needlehead is wrong...
