58. Chernobyl : The Nuclear
Disaster








On April 26, 1986 the worst nuclear accident in the history of atomic industry took place
at Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the ex Soviet Union. The fourth reactor of the
power plant exploded and caught fire. As a result of the explosion, the core of the
reactor, the protection barriers, and the safety systems were completely destroyed. The
reactor emitted millions of curies of radioactive particles into the atmosphere
contaminating the land for miles around.
In November 1986, the USSR Council of Ministers approved the construction of a
confinement design called “shelter”; which was built in a great hustle and under
tremendously tough conditions resulting in a number of serious problems.
In 1997, the leaders of the seven industrial states decided to assist Ukraine in facing
the disaster that erupted at Chernobyl. And, the Chernobyl Fund was established.
Towards the end of 1998, the participation of various countries in the said fund
amounted to US$ 4 million.
The Kuwait fund was entrusted to pay the said participation from its own resources,
and to administer the Kuwaiti grant.
In August 2007, and as an outcome of the international tender, a contract was signed
with an international consortium to construct the “New Safe Confinement” for an
updated cost of Euro 728 millions.
The Chernobyl Fund asked for additional financing. The pledge of the state of Kuwait
was increased by US$ 2millions , and paid from the resources of the Kuwait Fund.
The Kuwait Fund believing in noble aims of international cooperation to save human
communities, administers the Kuwaiti Grant and maintains continuous efficient follow
up of all the Chernobyl Fund projects, operations, and budget.

59. Renovation of Water Supply, Storm Drainage and
Sewerage Projects in the city of Pyongyang, the
Capital of Democratic People’s Republic of Korea





These two projects are an example of the integrated water management that
the Fund seeks to finance.
The first part aims at reduction of severe shortage of Potable water for about
3 million people in the city, while the second part aims at the protection of
the environment and public health of inhabitants against pollution of waste
water.
The Project has been implemented over two stages, the first one
accomplished the rehabilitation and improvement of the city water supply
system through procurement of equipment and machinery needed for the
rehabilitation of the six existing water purification plants.
The next stage of the project included the rehabilitation and improvement of
waste water system in the city.
The total estimated cost of these two projects was about 110 million US$.

60. Rehabilitation of Water Supply Systems in two
towns, Santiago De Cuba and Holguin in the
Republic of Cuba
 These two projects aims at the reduction of
the present
shortage of potable water through the rehabilitation of the two
water supply systems in the two cities of a total population
around 800 thousand inhabitants.
 The two projects include the rehabilitation of the water
purification plants, the pumping stations, storage tanks as
well as the laying of water distribution pipelines and the
installation of house water meters.
 The cost of these two projects was estimated at about 58US$.
