Chernobyl Reactor 4 is the location of the largest nuclear disaster in history.
After the disaster, a sarcophagus structure was quickly constructed to try and contain the radiation. However, it was a short term solution and a long term project would need to be made eventually.
The planning for this new arch structure began in 1992, and was finally moved into place in 2016.
