Incase no one knew, this is south from the Chernobyl Nuclear Powerplant. And in the distance the Arch is the new safe confinement building which was slid into place a few years ago. It's the largest man-made structure to be moved ever. I wish Cod would release the drone footage tho. Like stock.

Why is the Chernobyl New Safe Confinement dome only good for 100 years?

Is it only needed for 100 years, or will something occur to it to make it inoperable? And what is it actually made out of?

TIL Chernobyl New Safe Confinement or Chernobyl dome is the world’s largest moveable metal structure over the Chernobyl nuclear power plant's doomed 4th reactor; the gigantic arch soars 108 m (355 ft)-taller than New York's Statue of Liberty-weight 36,000 tons, according to the World Record Academy worldrecordacademy.com/bi…

What make the Chernobyl New Safe Confinement dome so expensive?

Don't get me wrong, it is an immensly impressive engineering feat and truly something to be proud of. I'm not asking this because I'm against the project or anything, just out of pure curiosity.

The new safe confinement is 92.5 metres high, 150 metres long and has an external span of 270 metres. Apart from the demolition equipment, it's hollow inside (right?).

The mercedez-Benz superdome as a comparison is 77.1 metres high, about 300 metres long and has a dome span of 210m. It has a lot of infrastructure, luxury rooms, seats, bars... inside.

The Benz arena cost about 610 million dollars to make, the nsc 1.6 billion! More than 2.5 times as much! The confinement was constructed far enough from the danger zones to be hazardous, but even if workers received serious hazard pay, is the difference really THAT big?

I'm genuinly curious if I missed something, why was that thing so incredibly expensive? We're in the cost area of dams and large powerstations here. Structurally the dome is impressive, but is it 2.5x more intricate than a whole sport stadium almost its own size?

YSK Today (April 26) is the 27th Anniversary of the Chernobyl Catastrophe, and there is giant arch being built that will slide over the damaged reactor, sealing it from the elements. The new safe confinement will be the largest moveable structure in the world - taller than the statue of liberty!

You can see a video of the build plan here

Also a shameless plug for /r/chernobyl :)
