ABSTRACT
The Sarcophagus built, apparently in the minds of the general public but not in actual fact, to outlast the pyramids in Egypt, is now in a situation where it might well collapse, in part if not in full, within the next few years, see section 8.3. This chapter describes its construction and the location of most of the remaining nuclear fuel masses, termed lava, including the masses which are known as the Elephant’s foot , see Plate V. Photographs have already been included of radiation monitoring inside the Sarcophagus, figure 2.8, the measurement recording laboratory, figure 2.9, and in section 8.3 proposals are given for a possible second Sarcophagus.
