Chernobyl: The Story of the Chernobyl Arch

The video tutorial covers the construction of a massive arch over the Chernobyl reactor. It details the project's inception, the engineering challenges faced, and the innovative solutions implemented. The arch, built by Novaka, is designed to protect workers from radiation and withstand extreme weather. It includes remote-controlled cranes for safe dismantling of the old sarcophagus. The project highlights the importance of safety, durability, and advanced engineering in handling radioactive sites.

Which two companies formed the consortium Novaka?

• Valencia and Weig

• Vanc and Boyer

• Sihil and Fargier

• Novaka and Chernobyl

What was the first step taken by the teams from Valencia and Weig upon their arrival?

• Cleaning the contaminated terrain

• Constructing the reactor

• Installing cranes

• Building the arch

Why was the arch built in two halves?

• To avoid welding

• Due to space constraints

• To reduce costs

• To increase height

What extreme weather condition was the arch designed to withstand?

• Hurricanes

• Earthquakes

• Floods

• Force three tornadoes

Why was the arch constructed several hundred meters away from the reactor?

• To enhance design

• To reduce radioactivity exposure

• To save space

• To improve visibility

What was installed to allow workers to dismantle the old sarcophagus remotely?

• Robotic arms

• Remotely controlled cranes

• Automated vehicles

• Protective suits

What was the main purpose of the arch's design?

• To increase the height of the structure

• To cover the old sarcophagus and allow safe dismantling
