Talk:New Safe Confinement

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article really needs more recent sources, I have contacted the EBRD and NRC for more information, and neither group has been particularly helpful, a person local to the area or involved in the design/construction/management of the new shelter would be able to provide the best current information. Even just a recent picture of the site around Unit 4 would shed a lot of light on what the SIP is actually doing there. --Matthew 20:01, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

I have substantially expanded the technical aspects of this article, it still needs some pictures, editing, and current information. Perhaps I will have more time later this evening --Matthew 22:54, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Some pictures are added, as is more information about deconstruction. --Matthew 00:54, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

I have mostly finished the article text, it needs to be edited and all of the links need to be fixed. --Matthew 01:38, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Fixed links, removing tag. Kendrick7 00:11, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Utopia?

Do you think this shelter will ever be built? I am afraid the money will never be there for this ambitious project and the original sarcophagus will remain in place until it collapses some 20 years from now. Many dates mentioned in this article have already passed and not a bucket of mud has been moved yet. 195.70.32.136 10:00, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] end walls

accroding to the article both end walls will be in place before the structure is moved into its finial position. given this how exactly do they plan to put it over the reactor? Plugwash 19:29, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Google Earth?

Perhaps a more recent image from Google Earth would help show this place in perspective
