A concrete sarcophagus was built around the damaged rector but it leaks and has cracks in the walls. Uranium isotopes are water soluble and are polluting the ground water. The whole edifice is in dire need of replacement.

No, the Chernobyl Number 4 reactor is not burning.

While the site remains radioactive and poses environmental hazards, there is no ongoing fire or nuclear reaction occurring in the reactor.
