Just before we moved into Level 4, the Year 9 Social Studies students were researching disasters. Oliver had chosen to compare the causes and effects of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster of 1986 with the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster of 2011. To complement his Google slideshow, whilst in lockdown Oliver constructed a model of the Chernobyl power plant after the disaster, using materials he found around his home.
The paint container represents the New Safe Confinement, moved into place in 2017. This covers the sarcophagus and is designed to confine the radioactive remains of the disaster for the next hundred years.
Great work Oliver! Students are welcome to visit Room 3, where Oliver's model is currently on display.
