The damaged reactor was sealed off and 200 cubic meters of concrete was placed between the disaster site and the operational buildings.

In 1991, a fire broke out in the turbine building of reactor 2sk63 2;[118] the authorities subsequently declared the reactor damaged beyond repair and had it taken offline.
