Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (ChNPP) as the New Safe Confinement (NSC) over the fourth reactor of the power plant was put into operation Wednesday. The NSC is meant to prevent radioactive materials escaping from the fourth reactor site where a nuclear accident on April 26, 1986 took lives of at least 31 people while thousands more have died since from radiation exposure and cancer.
