Abstract
Problems with structures in the "Shelter" object at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Station (ChNPS) are outlined. The most important measures intended for implementation of the strategy of stabilization of the "Shelter" object are indicated. They are based on building of the new and reinforcement of existing metal structures by making an extensive use of welding. The experience gained will be applied for further work aimed at long-term stabilization of the "Shelter" object.
