But sealing the hole hasn't been possible because it sits above the crumbling sarcophagus that encases radioactive debris from the reactor.

"How can you fix a roof space where the higher you go up in the building, the higher the radiation levels? They're so high next to the actual sarcophagus, the reactor unit, that you can't work above it," says Shaun Burnie, a nuclear expert with Greenpeace.
It took emergency crews three weeks to locate and extinguish fires that spread and smoldered through the membrane of the shield's outer shell.
