Txernobylgo istripua

Many doubts about the start of the work of the new sarcophagus in Chernobyl

Joxerra Aizpurua Sarasola
08 May 2012

The fourth reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant broke out on 26 April 1986. Radioactive waste dispersed around the world and took six months to surround the reactor with a sarcophagus. The life of this sarcophage was estimated to be 25 years, but in 2010 the Ukrainian Government announced that it did not have enough money to carry out this work.

It is known that most of the workers involved in the construction of steel and cement sarcophagus are dead or affected by cancer, but the Government has never given concrete data, which were not a few, but thousands. In April last year, Chernobyl is still alive! Article 1 stated that the second sarcophagus would require EUR 1 billion, while only EUR 500 million had been raised.

The Government of Ukraine, which has announced the start of the work shortly, has not provided any further information on the finding of Kiev. Has enough money been collected? Will the work be carried out with a guarantee or will less cement and steel be used than expected? What will the working and health conditions of workers look like?
