Chernobyl Sarcophagus Memorial

This sculpture of cupped hands holding a power plant was erected in 2006 just outside of Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant #4 which was the site of the April 1986 nuclear energy disaster. The monument is dedicated to the remembrance of the heroic actions of plant workers and emergency crew who prevented what well could have been a catastrophe of global proportions.
