video: cbs news reports on chernobyl "nightmare" and containment efforts

This CBS video report is on the status of the 10 year and running project to safely contain the destroyed nuclear reactor at Chernobyl.  We picked up the clip from Mark Resnicoff's excellent Chernobyl and Eastern Europe blog.

In the two minute video, (if you reading this on email or a feed you may need to click here to view it), reporter Katie Couric describes the Chernobyl accident as "a nightmare from the Soviet era" that will continue to haunt the region "for generations."  The cost to contain the Chernobyl reactor is over $1.5 billion so far, with the USA being the largest single country donor.

The clip starts with a brief advertisement that was embedded by CBS -- we are grateful to be able to share the clip at no charge, but it is not a product endorsement by Chernobyl Children's Project International.
