Chernobyl reactor shutters in Ukraine amid safety push
Ukraine marked the final shutdown of Chernobyl reactor No 3 with a switch at 1 16 pm in Kiev. President Kuchma cited national safety needs, while President Clinton hailed the move as a victory for global safety. The sarcophagus over reactor No 4 leaks radiation and water, with plans for a new airtight cover under a 758 million international project through 2007. Dozens of years of fuel handling remain, and engineering decisions on fuel disposal are still pending.
