In September 2015, a next generation nuclear field engineer from Chicago went to Chernobyl to join the 3,500 workers on site. They are completing the largest movable structure humans have ever built – tall enough to enclose the Statue of Liberty and wide enough to cover the exploded Unit Four of the Chernobyl power plant, including the sarcophagus that was built over the plant in 1986. Lucas Hixson publishes studies of operating and decommissioned nuclear power stations and nuclear weapons facilities across the United States. Hixson kept a diary and took photos of his 10 days at Chernobyl. He wants us to hear his story in honor of the workers who risk their health today to prevent the spread of the enormous debris field that will remain at Chernobyl forever. Produced by TUC Radio.
