Tourists from all over the world come to Ukraine to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant to see the new sarcophagus-arch. There is a huge selection of souvenirs on this topic, but this copy cannot be bought in souvenir shops. I propose an interesting souvenir - a bolt for fastening the structures of the New Arch (the new sarcophagus of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant).
This is the set in its presentational box. Such gifts were given to the highest management of the Station, CEO, chiefs of departments, even president of Ukraine got the same one. It was taken from private collection. Rare!!! NEW .Good conditions! The box may have small scratches or some other signs of cosmetic wear and storage. Made from steel in wooden box with magnetic holders. This product can decorate your collection or be a good gift from the only sarcophagus arch in the world.
Bolt size: 5,1"X3,2" or 130mmX80mm. Box size: appx. 6,9"X4,1"X3,2" or 175mmX105mmX80mm. Weight with the box: apprx. 3,3lbs or 1,5kg.
The design feature of the bolt includes a nut tightening force adjuster. When the tightening torque of 125 kg is reached, the controller breaks off, which indicates the result achieved. This bolt pattern can decorate your collection or be a good gift from the world's only sarcophagus arch.
This item does not carry the threat of radioactive contamination and is completely safe. This will be confirmed by the free movement of the shipment through the customs of different countries, where mandatory control is carried out for radiation safety.
Gift: The original envelope of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. It is a collector's item in itself.
26th April 1986 saw the world’s worst nuclear disaster as an explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear plant allowed radiation to spread over large parts of the continent and sent plumes of radioactive dust as far away as Japan and the U.S. causing extensive pollution and long lasting ecological damage. Following the explosion, the reactor was encased in concrete to prevent the further spread of radioactive dust. Poor design, rushed execution and the passage of time contributed to the deterioration of the original coccoon, resulting in a heightened risk of radiation leakage.
Against this background, the Ukrainian government invited tenders for a new solution to prevent future radiation leakage as early as 1992, but it took a further 15 years before the design was agreed and the contract awarded to Novarka, a joint venture between Vinci Grand Projects and Bouygues Travaux Publics. Steel for the new structure was fabricated in Italy by Cimolai, with over 650,000 Tension Control Bolts needed to hold the structure together installed by steel erection teams from all over Europe.
The immense New Safe Confinement was designed to be built adjacent to the site and railed across. It is the largest movable structure ever constructed. A true ‘one-off’ design which came under tremendous vibratory pressures both in construction of the arch as well as during relocation. Research was conducted particularly looking into bolts and following extensive testing Novarka engineers determined that TCBs would be the best bolting assemblies to mitigate against this extreme vibration. The selection of Greenkote Tension Control Bolts was critical to the success of the structure.
