Thank you for your comment

[Procharmo]

Gonna need 6 of them in Japan!

It's an awesome design and a very good one too ... but it will take many years before something like that will ever "come to life" ... and on a side-funny-stalker-like-note : maybe the workers will stumble upon some mutants while working :P

Anyway , thanks for sharing the video , really interesting material ! 5*****

Going to need one of these for every nuclear reactor in the world eventually. Because they are all going to grow old and get shut down and slowly decay. So much for supposed cheap energy for nuclear power .

[cezardoborn]

why are they using the old outside walls of the building? i would think that they would build solid wall all the way around the reactor.

but the original sarcophagus looked so much cooler! D:

@Arbiter11723 20,000 tons big. Just for the arch.

@145bobby 1. There's still a reaction going on in the 4 reactor under all that rumble. Led and concrete were already poured there at the time of the explosion, and the result was all that led and concrete simply evaporating because of a very high temp.

2. Led and concrete are heavy, and there are special tunnels under the 4 reactor that keep the reactor with no contact with any water, or else if those particles with high temperature touch water, whole thing goes BOOM again.

OMG if you know how big the CNPP is than this thing is going to be HUGE

@uorder Good lord! Still producing heat!!!

[uorder]

@145bobby we can't do it because the reactor's fuel still is producing much heat.

[ptscao]

so all the radiations just gonna blow out the sides?

[145bobby]

why don't they fill the whole thing with lead or concrete? The structure if failing, so why don't you just pour gallons of solid led or concrete into it? this would bury the contanimated fuel forever. We can't have that dust leave the sarcophagus or another radiation cloud could form.

a 1.1billion dollar project seems crazy. The conditions are too untable to do without even higher cost to the workers. Just fill the thing up and then no gass can leak out..
