Ukraine - Reactor at Chernobyl power plant closed

(1 Dec 1996) T/I 10:01:00
Chernobyl nuclear power station - scene of the world's worst nuclear accident - appeared to move a step nearer closure on Saturday (30/1).
A reactor at the notorious power station was shut down, bringing Ukraine closer toward compliance with an international accord that calls for a complete shut-down of the ageing plant.

minutes ago we stopped reactor number one. It was stopped without any
problems. To my regret the shut-down was not connected with the maintenance but was by order of the president";

SOT Sharshun, continues: "What about the future? I still want to believe that all the people around me who work with Reactor Number One will not lose their jobs, and will be redeployed elsewhere. There are so many problems connected with the power plant."
