5. The Arch
At the end of 2016 construction of NSA was completed. A New Safe Confinement was to be built in order to transform the shelter of reactor #4 of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant into a multifunctional eco-friendly complex. The New Safe Confinement consists of nineteen different substructures, including the most important protective arch with a special double casing.
It took seven years to build the arch. 5700 metal elements were used in construction: pipes (starting out from 800 mm in size), 4000 nodal connections, 650 000 bolts, 400 steel and 400 ferrocement piles. Overall the weight of the construction amounts to more than thirty-five thousand tons. 1200 people worked on it every day.
The height of the structure is 108 m (an equivalent of a building 30 storey high), its length is 162 m, the width is 257 m.!
The New Safe Confinement will be able to withstand F3 tornadoes on the Fujita scale, which statistically happen once in a million years, a strong (VI) earthquake on the MSK scale which happens once in ten thousand years and temperature swings within the interval of -43°С to +45°С.
The arch was built on the western side of the #4 reactor and then shifted on it on special rails.!
Today, it’s the biggest movable structure in the world.
