Explore the history and effectiveness of chernobyl’s sarcophagus and new safe confinement, plus the impact and repair efforts after the feb 2025 russian drone strike.
During the trial operation, almost all nsc equipment and systems was operated in design mode within 72 hours
The task of trial operation is to make sure that all equipment and machinery perform their functions. The new safe confinement (nsc) is an immense steel arch designed to cover the damaged nuclear reactor and prevent further radioactive material leaking into the environment whilst the reactor structure is made safe. Work started on a new safe confinement (nsc) for reactor number 4 in 2010 About two decades in the making, a massive steel structure called the new safe confinement was built to seal in the site
