That's Chernobyl reactor 4, the ruined one, on the right. The New Safe Containment is the structure under construction on the left. It's an arch (as you can see through the trees) which will be jacked up in the air on legs one section at a time, until it's tall enough to slide on tracks over to the right to cover reactor 4. This photo from March, 2013.
