Great video. The cheerleaders are doing some aeomwse stunts.  The freeze frame effect really enhances the video you should use more of it in your next video. Great song choice too!

Reactor no.2 in NPP Ignalina, Lithuania, was permanently shut down today. It was the last operating reactor in Lithuania. Reactors 1 and 2 of Ignalina NPP were the same RMBK design as these in Chernobyl, only bigger power per unit (1500MWe).

To Dragonfromthedepths: The bird story is true, but I have never heard about the mutated rats though. The sarcophagus is so unstable that the wind storm or small-scale earthquake might cause a collapse. What do you say, which NPP was shut down?

seriously? the new reports said that sarcophagus was highly unstable. mutated rats? well i am so glad our only nuclear power plant is a complete shut down and is on the coast

Yeah, and the birds nest inside the sarcophagus (This is actually true, nobody can't explain how birds withstand such high doses of radiation). Construction of the second sarcophagus was being delayed for 10 years now, and nobody knows when will it...

It is planned to build the second sarcophagus, put it in place, and then to gradually dismantle and remove the old sarcophagus and the debris beheath it. The dismantled parts are to be stored in underground facilities, the same way the waste fuel is stored. It is not determined yet how long it might take to remove all radioactive waste from the site.

The old sarcophagus (Ukritiye Encasement) was always meant to be temporary (20-30 yrs according to my source). Temperatures still reach 2000 degrees celcius inside the core zone. The second sarcophagus is still a plan (90% done), but if it is carried ...

The old sarcophagus (Ukritiye Encasement) was always meant to be temporary (20-30 yrs according to my source). Temperatures still reach 2000 degrees celcius inside the core zone. The second sarcophagus is still a plan (90% done), but if it is carried out, it will be a minimum of 5-6 years for it to finish.

the new sarcophagus will be built by the g7, the 7 biggest nations worldwide. the sarcophagus will be designed to "work" for approx. 100 years.

I heard that the workers who are working on it now are only allowed to be there for 2 minutes each day. They get a 1,000 dollar monthly salary for this job. And some workers even try to adjust their geiger counters so they show less radiation than there actually is. How true is all this?

More so, there is an opinion that no sarcophagus is needed.

Check out the contractors in charge of building the new sarcophagus (Bechtel). You can bet your booties its about money, and lots of it. And $800 million USD is a vague small estimate. Bechtel is in charge of a lot of the rebuilding of Iraq, and they're doing a terrible job. Two-thirds of the country still doesn't have electricity or sanitation, even though they've charged, in some cases, twice the original estimates. The work is shoddy, and the job never gets done. They were also the ones in charge of "The Big Dig" (tunnel in Boston, USA). That ran way over budget and is constantly suffering from leaks due to piss poor worksmanship. They had to close a section of it down entirely after part of the roof collapsed a woman's car and killed her. The city of Boston is trying to put some of the foremen and managers on trial for it, but its just good ol' Bechtel doing what they do best: raping and pillaging from people when they need it the most. It may not be totally just the "money isn't available", chances are either Bechtel is asking for more money, or the financiers know they will get raped with cost overruns and wind up with a huge mess afterwards. Just imagine when 10 years later they have to build a THIRD sarcophagus to enclose the crappy one that is being built now. It will be the size of a town by then! This one has to work right this time.

I'm no expert, but what about the "dust particles" that are supposedly radio-active too. If the place collapses, wouldn't those poison everything more? Is there a way of neutralizing or transporting all the dust also?

The best thing that they have to do is to take out the radioactive materials and sent them in special facilities where other reactors send their used fuel. Building another sarcophagus without defuellng is like you hide a bomb under your rug. This sarcophagus will stay another 5 years at most? So about 25 years life since 1986. After that they gonna have to build another one, so every 25 years the same story...
Ive heard that Ukranian goverment wants to build new reactors, so they have the money but they dont want to spent them in this case. The north region of my state is poisoned by cesium 137 of this damn reactor, we dont want more!

Gadolinium nitrate is now sprayed regularlly. But we may next time we may not be so lucky. And I heard it was supposed to cost 800 million bucks American. I don't know if they'd front the bill, but the Ukranian Academy of Sciences is handling a lot of the control stuff now. (National Geographic, April 06.)

I read in a science journal that if enough water leaks into the remaining fuel areas, a new fission reaction will commence and it's "Irene goodnight," for a very large area. START BUILDING NOW!

Juan - I don't somehow think $130 million US, would even pay for the danger money to the companies going to build the new sarcophagus. I sure as hell know, that it would be like a drop in the ocean. $130 million US, I don't think so.

everyone needs to look at the mar 2006 National Geographic, it goes into great detail on the new sarcophagus, it is goung to be built to the side of the reactor and then slid into place, it is going to be the size of a stadium and cost $800M USD

The first sarcophagus is very shoddy, because it has no rivets or welding to hold it together,because nobody could go near it because of the radiation. It was built by cranes. There are many holes in it, leaking water inside. Plans for a new arc type...

The first sarcophagus is very shoddy, because it has no rivets or welding to hold it together,because nobody could go near it because of the radiation. It was built by cranes. There are many holes in it, leaking water inside. Plans for a new arc type sarcophagus have been made and I think it should be ready in a few years.
