One of the long term effects was the atmosphere that was said to last for about 20,000 years until Chernobyl is habitable.]]> 2017-05-04 14:30:19 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherneal/17gjhz2w4ej2/wish/169948303 christopherneal https://padlet.com/christopherneal/17gjhz2w4ej2/wish/169952796 Although they were no definite companies that funded or invested in the power plant. The Soviet Union own the plant and named it V.I Lenin Nuclear Power Station until the Soviet shut down the plant and it reopened in Ukraine as the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant.

Since the Chernobyl tragedy there were many nuclear policies and laws that were passed since, for example now every nuclear power plant has to have there staff check to see if they qualify for the job. ]]> 2017-05-05 14:27:43 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherneal/17gjhz2w4ej2/wish/170190687 christopherneal https://padlet.com/christopherneal/17gjhz2w4ej2/wish/170198993 The elephants foot is the most radioactive material on earth ]]> 2017-05-05 14:57:54 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherneal/17gjhz2w4ej2/wish/170198993 christopherneal https://padlet.com/christopherneal/17gjhz2w4ej2/wish/170772589 2017-05-09 14:12:40 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherneal/17gjhz2w4ej2/wish/170772589 christopherneal https://padlet.com/christopherneal/17gjhz2w4ej2/wish/170775886 Between May and November 1986, a Shelter was built around the damaged reactor, reducing  the radiation levels , and preventing further release of radiation, but problems later arose when the shelter had to be erected quickly and under very difficult conditions, mostly because the construction workers  were exposed to severe radiation levels. To avoid the the Shelter from collapsing, there are plans to strengthen corroded structures and to build a New Safe Confinement (NSC) that would cover the existing Shelter and last more than 100 years.]]> 2017-05-09 14:20:04 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherneal/17gjhz2w4ej2/wish/170775886 christopherneal https://padlet.com/christopherneal/17gjhz2w4ej2/wish/170784028
