[quote:Anonymous Coward 28569456:MV8yMDY0NzQ0XzM0NzM4NDQ4XzQwNDZBNjM1] The whole World needed ca. 15-20 Years to get this Money all together, since the Independance of the Ukraine they talked, talked and talked, now afaik the EU/ Germany is paying 70% of this huge amount of Money (1.500.000.000 Euro, 1,5 Mrd.)

Original Message
The milestone first stage of the new sarcophagus for Chernobyl’s nuclear power station has been completed. The unique construction to safely contain the radioactive emissions of Chernobyl for the next 100 years will be ready by October 2015.
The unprecedented new shelter will be 108m high (equivalent to a 30-story apartment building), 257m wide, and 150m long (almost two football fields). The approximate weight of the structure will be 29,000 tons.
