There was a serious danger that the contents of the nuclear reactor would seep into the soil, and then leak into the Dnepr river, thus endangering the population of Kiev and other cities along the riverbanks. Therefore, we started the job of protecting the river banks, initiating a total deactivation of the Chernobyl plant.
当时存在很大的危险，那就是核反应堆成份会渗入土壤，然后泄漏到第聂伯河，从而威胁到基辅和沿河两岸其他城市的人口。因此，我们开展保护河岸的工作，开始彻底关闭切尔诺贝利电站。整个一个大国的资源都被调动起来控制灾难，包括准备可以把四号反应堆封存起来的大理石棺。
