According to the Voice of Russia, on July 6, the work of pouring the ceiling for the concrete protective dome above the No. 1 nuclear reactor of the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, which was damaged in the super earthquake and tsunami on March 11, began.

The sarcophagus-like protective layer made of polyester material is due to be completed by the end of September on reactors No. 1, No. 3 and No. 4 of the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant.

The domes will serve for two years, until all the damaged reactors are urgently sealed in cement vaults.
