Unit 4 of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant and the sarcophagus that entombs it. A cantilevered wall was erected to help support the weight of the crumbling roof, to make sure it does not collapse before the arch is in place. Builders this close to the reactor have to wear hazmat suits and respirators, though this will change this week as the area has been sufficiently cleaned up in order for people to wear regular work clothing and no respirators.
