Chernobyl disaster of 1986: What happened to the nuclear reactor as Russia strikes power plant?
The outer shell that was struck is a protective cover built in 2016 over a heavy concrete containment structure. Soon after the 1986 disaster, the inner layer (in which there was no indication of a breach on Friday morning), was placed on the plant’s fourth reactor. The containment shells seek to prevent radiation leaks.
Ukraine said that a Russian drone had hit a shelter constructed to prevent radiation leaks at the site’s Reactor No. 4. The Kremlin denied the accusation.
