Chernobyl Arch Damaged: Russia’s Attack Demands Accountability
A Russian drone strike severely damaged the New Safe Confinement (NSC) at Chernobyl, impacting 50% of the northern roof and other critical areas. Greenpeace’s assessment reveals significant structural damage, including to the crane system, compromising the NSC’s functionality. Water and snow ingress pose further corrosion risks. Repairs may require the NSC’s costly relocation and reconstruction, mirroring the initial project’s massive expense.
