The protective sheath for the reactors

For three months, resigns from the damaged nuclear plant in Fukushima
radioactivity. Tepco plans now before digesting a protective cover
over the reactors. Construction has already begun.
A spokesman for the Tepco presented at a press conference a model of
the planned construction of the destroyed reactor 1 (June 14, 2011)
In order to prevent the escape of radiation from the damaged nuclear
plant in Fukushima I, operator Tepco has begun to create covers for
the heavily damaged reactors. The plan is a giant steel structure
height of 54 meters, 42 meters long and 47 meters wide, as the daily
"Mainichi Shimbun" reported. Then a protective coat is fastened with a
resin-coated plastic. This roof and wall panels to enclose the reactor
airtight and thus isolate the radiation. At the same time prevent the
housing such that rain water enters the open reactors. It was under
consideration, whether the cover is also plenty of wind and earthquake
resistant.
To protect the workers against radiation, the parts of the housing in
the city about 50 kilometers away Iwaki are collected and assembled.
As "TBS News" reported, was the work for the erection of steel
structure on 13 Started in June.
