Abstract
On April 26, 1986, an accident occurred at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (ChNPP) Unit 4. To protect the European environment against a radioactive dust over destroyed ChNPP Unit 4, the Shelter Object (SO) was erected during a short time. The SO is a structure with a height of more than 70 m composed of steel, reinforced concrete, and concrete elements. Therefore, no correct data on its thermal expansion are available. For monitoring the SO integrity (deformation state), since 1987 its periodic high precision geodetic observations have been started with a frequency of 4 times a year. The traditional comparison of the geodetic observations results regarding the SO geodetic reference marks (RM) de-formations between the measurement cycles is not informative enough and does not give an accurate idea about the SO deformation state. The RMs on the SO upper tiers underwent deformations up to 20 mm between the separate measurement cycles, while the RM deformations on the SO foundation slab were measured in units of millimeters. An insufficiency of the data on the SO civil structures thermal expansion did not allow making a correct conclusion about the SO current deformation state and, moreover, to predict its reliable behavior for the nearest future. Considering the ChNPP SO importance not only for the safety of Ukraine, but also for the whole of Europe, it was decided to conduct a detailed analysis of the available geodetic observations database for experimental solving the problem of the SO reinforced concrete structures thermal expansion (since 1987).
