Sabeis if Putzmeister has this model in u.s.a 62x6, here they say that it(he) is new.

Tom,

I used to have a great 8x11 photo of that machine with the lead covering on the cab.  I looked for it and came up empty. It had a slit in the covering at the eye-level on the windshield. Oh well,.....................

Says m52 on the turret.

Thanks, pal !

There are some job-pics as well. They looked like helicopter pics.......... long lense

If you look closely,you can see the pumps in a photo about Chernoybl in the National Geographic! I'll see if i can find it online!!!

PS I think there's three

Darn Vasa: Ya got me there!! Those were the same pics they had in N.G.,but much better!

what would be a book that would have all the pics and details about what happened . this is incredible . i remember a small amount about it i was thirteen at the time

This is not a Russia today, it's Ukraine, Pripyat.

What about a new Sarcophagus, Ukraine don't have money to build it

I will never forget the day this happened... so sad to think of all those who have died...

Check out this link, at approximately the 3 minute mark there is some footage of the liquidaters working with concrete pumps visible in the background...

Never forget...

Bob,

What I meant by ""never forget was the lives that were lost during this tragic event. I couldn't agree with you more that we need to find alernative fuel sources and soon! How many of you remember the Washington Public Power Supply  (WPPS or woops as it was commonly refered to) How many nuclear power plants were they building at once during the 80's? I can't remember but there were alot! How many were completed and are on line now? ZERO! As a matter of fact, they imploded one of the cooling towers along the Columbia River a few years back.

If we are going to pursue nuclear energy in this country, we need to do it the right way, the safe way...

We'll pave the other planets later!

What pipe was used that they could pump so much mud thru but not have to replace it ? I want some o that, and didnt the mix have to be very dense as to block radiation ?

AMEN!

I have to say perhaps one of the most provocitive threads I can remember.I have to agree with Bob's thoughts that we need alternitive power stratigies.What are our options?.Nuclear power but with what cost?.

A very real problem and I'm certain we will play a major roll.

happy trails

Different enough of 63, 5 this divided section, but they are called her this one 62, if I can I order you photos.
In relation with the nuclear centralers, me estube one year being employed at one, (vandellos the IInd) on the Mediterranean coast, tarragona and there is insecure mas that you could imagine, a few days ago a nearby reactor pipe a problem (disgust I) and they minimized the problem that now we know that it(he,she) was mas seriously. I sit(feel) if the translation is not good
