The Soviets weren't exactly renown for their safety precautions, and now the Russians are paying for it.

I wish the Russians would pay for it. Unfortunatly, Chernobyl is in the Ukraine, now a independent country. And chronically broke. They could have never financed the new dome alone. So, it went like it usually does: they let a hat go round among the EU countries - since we are the ones who get the fall out if the old concrete dome fails. More details you can find here:

Chernobyl New Safe Confinement
The New Safe Confinement (NSC or New Shelter) is a structure built to confine the remains of the number 4 reactor unit at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, in Ukraine, which was destroyed during the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. The structure also encloses the temporary Shelter Structure (sarcophagus) that was built around the reactor immediately after the disaster. The New Safe Confinement is designed to prevent the release of radioactive contaminants, protect the reactor from external influence, facilitate the disassembly and decommissioning of the reactor, and prevent water intrusion.The New Safe Confinement is a megaproject that is part of the Shelter Implementation Plan and supported by the Chernobyl Shelter Fund. It was designed with the primary goal of confining the radioactive remains of reactor 4 for the next 100 years.

It's hardly the first time the Soviets dropped problems in someone else's lap!
