40 years on: Making Chornobyl safe

40 years on: Making Chornobyl safe

A new exclusive EBRD documentary, charts from 1986 to the present‑day threat. This exclusive documentary traces decades of work to contain Chornobyl’s Reactor 4, from the 1986 disaster to the present day. When a drone strike damaged the New Safe Confinement in 2025, that progress was thrown into doubt. With exclusive interviews and unprecedented access, watch to understand what is at stake now, and why the world must step up again. The EBRD’s work in Chornobyl is currently supported by the European Commission, France, Norway, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, the TaiwanBusiness-EBRD Technical Cooperation Fund, Belgium and Italy. We are grateful to the Government of Ukraine and the Nuclear Power Plant.
