The story of Chernobyl's New Safe Confinement

I was supposed to go to work that night, but my mission was canceled by my manager around one thirty, we heard a couple of explosions, we called the unit 4 control room, surprisingly no one answered the phone, which It was extremely unusual so I called unit 2 and asked if unit 4 was off, he paused for several seconds and then simply said look out the window. Chernobyl still matters because the 1986 accident is still the worst civilian nuclear accident in hi

and I only hope it remains that way, Vinny.

.

The rest of doing nothing was simply that what was built after the accident was built under immensely heroic circumstances under unimaginable radiation conditions. If we look back. which we have had to deal with today, but it was simply never built to last, the old sarcophagus was rusting, had huge holes in it and sooner or later it was going to collapse. I am proud of the bank it is. He accepted this challenge because it is risky and difficult, but extremely important to our regional operation. This is where Mr. Blair Clearance Area, this is a very important piece of the kit that we installed and it is a complete monitoring system of the shell of the existing object, so it covers structural monitoring, seismic monitoring and monitoring of radiation because, of course, the stability of the shelf of the existing object is absolutely crucial, the dimension of the arch itself is 262 meters span, one hundred and ten meters inner diameter and 160 meters in length.

The total weight, including the coating, including the system, including the Menken system, will be 36 thousand tons and we will push these 36 thousand. ton in a length of 320 meters is a cosmic environment that the relationship sees the attackers are addicts laboum more expensive risk Pasadena weapon threatens police presence pollution Apollinaris always looking like this mr. Bellamy asked Aramis written in the construction a personal cloud kappa dylan pochamma the real results are the top shelf in front of us, the yellow thing is the main crane system, which is the essential part of your equipment to deconstruct the object shelter after use, which is the essential reason.

Why do we have this magnificent arch that is structurally almost complete, but many ancillary systems have been condemned for their sin? Another surgeon from Komova acquitted himself in this area. It is very important to have major ventilation systems now because there is always an active corrosion control system there. which means controlling humidity over the life of the art 400 years, which is a huge engineering task our big headache our big challenge was to complete the final walls to the point that no warka could slide New York which was one of those operations where a Many people thought it couldn't happen that you had never done it.

We did it because it is a challenging project with many different jobs. We are more than 20 different nationalities, so you have to coordinate everyone. free, it is unique, nowhere in the world can you find something really similar and I am very proud to work here, not in another office, but here because I will surely have many things to tell my children, hopefully, my grandchildren, etc. That was a day that I dreamed about, I confessed that sometimes I had doubts that it would ever happen and, in fact, for me it was quite surprising, it caused a bit of an emotional reaction because it meant that I had invested a lot of time in But I also saw how much it meant to our Ukrainian colleagues that this had been achieved and it was something very, very special.

The shipping box advised that working in the government with radiation creates an additional limitation that we have to consider every day and I must say. that we have been quite successful in implementing an organization that allows us to have zero accidents or even radiological incidents, so behind me you can see unit 3 of representative 2 and to my left you can see the new

that closes the destroyed reactor unit. 4 and we are in the place where the

interacts with the old facilities and obviously we have to make sure that there is an airtight seal between the two this is the job where you can sleep from fear and this membrane is an example of a membrane that runs throughout the circumference of the new safe confinement with the sarcophagus destroyed overall we have about 2 kilometers of membrane now we are in the ventilation center of the new safe confinement the new safe confinement generally speaking has two key functions, one is to provide the facilities for deconstruction of the object shelter the second is to protect the environment by confining it from any ability to release radioactivity outside the confinement area this area is absolutely crucial to the second function of the new safe confinement because it essentially provides two things, the equipment here will provide forced air through of the internal and external layers of the arch to ensure that it has an element of overpressure so that there is no ability for contamination to reach the outside and, more importantly, it also allows for air drying because When you have a huge steel structure As 32,000 tonnes with a lifespan of 100 years is going to corrode, it is impossible to paint the arch because the radiation levels in some parts are simply too high, so we keep it corrosion free by ensuring the air circulating is dry - eh, I didn't mainly worry about nasha nashe Nadine Atomos mobile is Petrovic because the Molotov in the project especially is Baathist we told him that the mighty Minotaur could take the route dekotora meeting waton No, unless you want to sit in Amal Shara when Chernobyl happened in 1986.

I never thought I would be part of the attempt to complete the work that began later to make this place a safe place for people to live. I think my message to the donors and to the taxpayers who supported the donor governments is that this is something that they can be immensely proud of, it was a decision that their governments made and that they needed to be able to provide for Ukraine, for this region and for the region. The Chernobyl challenge is manageable in the long term and that is what this provided and I think there has been an unprecedented level of international cooperation to achieve it, so I have no no doubt that they should remember this with immense pride.
