Summary:
"In 1986, in the heart of
Ukraine

radioactive
fallout made an area larger than Long Island a no-go zone. Hastily, a so-called “sarcophagus” was built to contain the
radioactive
materials that lingered at the site after the explosion. But 30 years later, the sarcophagus is crumbling, and another disaster at Chernobyl looms. Now, an international team of engineers is racing the clock to assemble one of the most ambitious superstructures ever built
