New protective shelter at Chernobyl nuclear power plant

A worker stands next to the construction area of the Interim Spent Nuclear Fuel Dry Storage Facility (ISF-2) near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, in Chernobyl, Ukraine, 22 December 2016. The new protective shelter over the remains of the nuclear reactor Unit 4 will secure the affected fourth reactor. The shelter is over 105 metres tall and weighs 36,000 tons. The explosion of Unit 4 of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the early hours of 26 April 1986 is still regarded the biggest accident in the history of nuclear power generation (Photo by Maxym Marusenko/NurPhoto)
