Chernobyl to complete new confinement structure by December 2017 Journal Staff Report
Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant is planning to complete a new safe confinement over its ruined No. 4 power unit by December 2017, the project's chief engineer Volodymyr Kashtanov said. "We are planning to complete the project before November 30, 2017 … The implementation of the project is being monitored, and so far we are not seeing any deviation from the set date." The old 'sarcophagus' already under the NSC is due to be dismantled by 2023, Kashtanov said.
