A new website, www.chernobyl25.org, has been launched to provide comprehensive information on international efforts aimed at transforming the Chornobyl nuclear power station (north of Ukraine) into an environmentally safe site.
The site provides an overview of activities at Chornobyl after the accident in 1986 and describes the tasks that have to be done. These data give an idea of the work carried out by Ukraine and the international donor community for 25 years after the accident.
As reported by the Kyiv office of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, an animated video is also posted on the site (consortium Novarka), illustrating the process of designing and building a new safe confinement, which will be built over the destroyed unit #4.
Photos put on the EBRD gallery display the events at Chornobyl NPP since the accident time. The site is constantly updated.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development is the administrator of the Chornobyl Shelter Fund, which was established by the countries of the Group of Seven in 1997 with the aim of providing assistance to Ukraine in transforming the Shelter facility into a secure and stable system in accordance with the Shelter Implementation Plan.
April 26 this year marks 25 years since the largest in the history of nuclear energy man-made disaster at the 4th reactor of the Chornobyl NPP.
