The explosion of the plant&#8217;s reactor on Apr. 26, 1986, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3azuigLn1Bc\">contaminated a vast area<\/a> spanning Ukraine, <a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/tag\/belarus\/\">Belarus<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/tag\/russia\/\">Russia<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The sarcophagus was installed over the 4th reactor in the aftermath of the disaster to contain the uranium, plutonium, and radioactive dust at the site. The protective structure would only last 30 years, with the construction of a new sarcophagus completed in 2017. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ukraine is urging the international community to urgently intensify efforts in response to Russia&#8217;s unprecedented act of nuclear terrorism.
