    A picture from 2005 of workers wearing respirators and plastic suits pause before drilling holes for support rods inside the sarcophagus that was built to encase Reactor Unit 4 of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant after the catastrophic disaster. Radiation levels were so high that workers needed to constantly monitor their dosimeters and were only allowed to stay inside for 15 minutes a day.
