Events

The Chernobyl disaster in 1986 is still an important event in world history and the impact of its aftermath are still felt in this country. UK played an important part in the post-disaster clean-up which this presentation introduces. This presentation is an account of the project management, planning and execution of the construction of the second containment structure (Ukraite) at the Chernobyl nuclear plant. The project was many years in the planning and was conducted against a complicated background politically, financially and technically. The commercial environment is covered and the major issues of finance and project control are addressed. The view adopted is the British role in a multinational environment, focusing on organisational planning for a complex programme involving multiple owners, funding agencies and implementation teams.
