And to celebrate we have a great competition for you and 2 copies on DVD to give away.

Synopsis
‘ENTHRALLING, QUIETLY spectacular, meticulously researched’ (The Observer) Sky Original drama Chernobyl explores the truth surrounding the disastrous nuclear power plant explosion in 1986 – a story of incredible heroism and sacrifice, but also shocking lies and conspiracy.

The result of extensive research, Chernobyl seeks to tell the stories of those directly involved in causing the catastrophe, and those affected by the nuclear fallout felt across the world. Jared Harris (Mad Men, The Crown) stars as Valery Legasov, a nuclear physicist who is one of the first people to grasp the scope of the nuclear disaster. Ulana Khomyuk (Emily Watson – Apple Tree Yard, The Theory of Everything) is a scientist committed to getting to the bottom of the cause, while Lyudmilla Ignatenko (Jessie Buckley – Wild Rose, Beast) is the wife of a firefighter who was first on the scene. Stellan Skarsgård (Mamma Mia, Thor) plays Soviet Deputy Prime Minister Boris Shchergina, leading the government commission from a safe distance.

Directed by The Walking Dead’s Jonas Renck, the series is committed to a realism that refuses to shy away from the horrors, both physical and psychological, inflicted upon the victims of this uniquely horrifying event. A deeply moving story about how individuals act when faced with something inexplicable, this drama seeks to honour the spirit of those who helped stop the devastation from spreading even further.

Investigating the lengths to which governments will go to cover up atrocities and suppress the spread of information, Chernobyl also acts as a timely warning: the truth will out.

Drone footage from Chernobyl

Spectacular new footage shot from a drone flying over the site of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant released by the EBRD today shows the latest advances in securing the site of the 1986 accident.

The video focuses on the arch that will shelter the damaged reactor 4 upon completion in late 2017.

It will prevent the release of contaminated material from the present shelter and protect the structure from external impacts such as extreme weather.

The New Safe Confinement is the largest structure ever been assembled in the vicinity of a heavily contaminated site and is 110 metres high, 165 metres wide and 260 metres wide.

It is being constructed by the international consortium Novarka, led by the French companies Vinci Construction and Bouygues Travaux Publics. Novarka also commissioned the drone video.

The construction works on site started in late in 2010 and recently passed another milestone when the two halves of the giant arch were joined. Once fitted with state-of-the-art equipment for deconstruction the structure will be slid over the damaged reactor, making it the largest moveable, land-based structure ever built.
