...and that was six, to seven years ago.

yes....several years ago there was a lot of talk about how the old sarcophagus was leaking rainwater and in imminent danger of collapse. I recall seeing some very ambitious plans to build a new sarcophagus over the old one, but nothing ever came of it, and the story faded into the background.

As I understand it, if a minor earthquake shook that area it could stir up another plume that carries thousands of REMs of radiation, even now.

It’s horrifying to consider the entire scope of this disaster.
