In an impressive feat of engineering, the Chernobyl sarcophagus built to contain the highly radioactive remains of one of the planet's worst nuclear disasters is
finally being replaced [theengineer.co.uk] by "New Safe Confinement" (NSC). A large steel arch will provide protection from the elements.
