The new sarcophagus of Chernobyl was completed at the end of 2017. Two French companies won the contract financed by the European Bank of Reconstruction to seal off the deteriorating mountain of cement that had been poured over the second reactor of the Chernobyl plant in 1989. This massive engineering project was designed to contain the radiation still emanating from the disaster site and to prevent further environmental contamination. The structure, known as the New Safe Confinement, is one of the largest movable steel structures ever built, symbolizing a significant step towards mitigating the long-term impact of the catastrophic nuclear accident.
