Chernobyl: finally hermetically sealed after three decades.
The European Bank For Reconstruction and Development sez:
Thirty years after the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl, the radioactive remains of the power plant’s destroyed reactor 4 have been safely enclosed following one of the world’s most ambitious engineering projects.

Game of the year competitor, surely.
