UK to help repair Chernobyl nuclear power plant

The UK government will allocate 17 million pounds ($22.45 million) to repair the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Reuters reports.

According to the government, the funds will be directed to the necessary repair work. They will restore the tightness and ventilation functions of the structure, as well as extend the life of the station.

Last year, the station’s protective structure damaged a Russian drone strike. The Chernobyl nuclear power plant was the site of the worst nuclear accident in the world, which occurred in 1986.

A new protective shell covers an old sarcophagus with the remains of a damaged fourth reactor.
