On April 26, 1986, a failed safety test of the number 4 reactor at the nuclear power plant caused a huge explosion, releasing huge amounts of radiation into the environment.
The vast structure that was built around the number 4 reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, Ukraine, following the infamous 1986 disaster is on the verge of collapse, according to experts.
Fortunately, authorities have been planning for this eventuality. Last month, a new structure built around the sarcophagus was formally inaugurated. "This is the next logical step resulting from our work carried out over the latest 12 years," Serhii Kalashnyk, acting director-general for the firm, said in a statement.
The disassembly contract will be funded by the Ukrainian state budget, unlike the construction of the New Safe confinement which was financed by the Chernobyl Shelter Fund —an organization founded in 1997 that counts 28 member states as contributors.
