Damaged Chernobyl nuclear reactor receives new containment building

The radiation-leaking Chernobyl nuclear reactor complex in Ukraine has a new containment structure designed to block release of deadly radiation. Named the "New Safe Confinement," it replaces the dilapidated structure, called the "sarcophagus," constructed several years ago. 

Hopefully, it will serve to block the radiation that leaked profusely as a result of the deadly explosion of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor complex in 1986, releasing deadly radiation that infested much of the earth.
