>The U.S. will give $100 million towards repairs of the vast radiation containment dome at the Chornobyl plant in northern Ukraine, site of the world’s worst atomic accident in 1986, after the dome was damaged by a Russian drone, Kyiv’s energy minister, Denys Shmyhal, said on Wednesday.
>In a post on Telegram, Shmyhal said funding for repairs of the dome, at an estimated cost of 500 million euros ($584.95 million), was discussed with international partners at a recent conference about the plant.
Let’s hope the EU funds the rest. We could add it to the tally of Russian reparations.
Okay i don’t know the serious extent of the damage and i suppose that part of the costs are due to the fact that said zone is still technically an active war zone,so you need security and all of that…but 500M of Euros? I remember only the drone attack that tore a good but still not super large hole into the NSC. 500M€ is roughly 25% of what the NSC actually costed,which becomes 18% if you adjust for inflation. Were there any other attacks apart from the initial invasion of 2022?
This is a double layered hull with a lot of tech inside to pull a pressure difference inside so no dust escapes. You can fit the stature of liberty below this roof.
After the drone strike the fire spread over half the structure and more cuts had to be made to fight the fire.
Is the 500 million usd figure for repairs under proper worker safety guidelines? I guess if i was a drafted frontline soldier i would probably consider working on fixing chornobyl’s roof than be in a trench.
If saving 200 million dollars means that this money can go towards saving many more soldiers on the front lines then that is a worthwhile tradeoff i think.
Is their any Russian money ?
