The new storage facilities for spent nuclear waste is being built on Chernobyl NPP by US company “Holtec International”. The storage is planned to be commissioned in 2017 with the new arch above the destroyed fourth reactor, Voice of America writes.
The facility consists of two parts – storage and plant, on which the spent nuclear waste will be accepted.
Especially for Ukraine the company constructed a double-walled container instead of single-walled. The pressure integrity will not be degraded, even if a big plane falls and explodes on it, US specialists promise.
Currently the storage facilities are almost ready. In autumn 2017 it is promised to be commissioned.
