a dosimeter flies off the chart at the base of the sarcophagus.
石棺底部的放射量测定器 依然破表
High levels of radioactivity, a hundred times normal,

are still contaminating the plant’s surroundings.
依然在污染电厂周围
The structure has been weakened by rain and erosion.

We built this sarcophagus to last 30 years,

thinking that 30 years after the explosion,

we could build a new sarcophagus
就能透过非人力方式 建造新石棺
without people having to run because of high radiation levels.
