Detailed explanation-1: -What measures should the government have taken when the nuclear reactor was installed beside the village? Answer: It is risky to install nuclear reactor beside the village or near any area where there are residents. The government should not have installed near the village as there were people residing nearby.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Soviet government also cut down and buried about a square mile of pine forest near the plant to reduce radioactive contamination at and near the site. Chernobyl’s three other reactors were subsequently restarted but all eventually shut down for good, with the last reactor closing in December 2000.
Detailed explanation-3: -20 May 1986 – Construction begins on concrete sarcophagus Less than a month after the incident, a concrete sarcophagus was designed to be placed above the open reactor to restrict radioactive contamination from further spreading in the area and to protect the reactor from climate exposure.
Detailed explanation-4: -Each body is sealed in a concrete coffin, because of its high radiation. Although the power plant is named after the small town of Chernobyl, a new town was built much closer to the power plant; the town of Pripyat.
