Unfinished Reactor 5
Reactors 5 and 6 were under construction at the time of the accident.
Reactor No. 5 was about 70% complete at the time of the accident and was scheduled to start operating on November 7, 1986.
And reactor 6 was scheduled to be completed in 1994.
After the accident, construction work on reactor 5 and 6 was soon stopped but resumed again on the 10th October 1986. Six months later on the 24 April 1987 work was once again halted and on May 23 1989 the decision was made not to complete the reactors.
