Tunnel construction after Chernobyl. Miners constructing a tunnel during the containment of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. The Chernobyl disaster of 23 April 1986 occurred when one of the nuclear reactors at the Chernobyl power station in the Ukraine (then part of the USSR) went into meltdown, causing an explosion. A large sarcophagus structure was built to contain the reactor. Hundreds of miners excavated tunnels to allow the base of the sarcophagus to be cooled to prevent the nuclear fuel burning a hole in the base. The tunnels were completed by 24 June 1986. This footage was obtained by film-maker Vladimir Shevchenko, who later died from the effects of radiation exposure. | |
