Before we have a punch up over nuclear versus xyz, might be worth discussing the new shelter itself a bit more. Although its well overdue, I gather its an engineering marvel in its own right. Also seem to recall reading if the old "sarcophagus" does collapse before the new shelter is in place there is potential for contamination far in excess of what happened 30 years ago.
Lets hope they get it in place safely and it lasts well beyond design life. The cumulative costs of the disaster to date, along with the financial cost of lost fertile farmlands has been said to have accelerated the downfall of the USSR.
