Though the existing "Sarcophagus" still has cracks and is slowly leaking radiation, it has been stablized. This will allow more time to get the new structure built. I know it's not the best thing, but it's better than an unstable Sarcophagus right now.
I personally visited the Chernobyl area for two days in June 2006 with a friend and former resident of Pripyat. We toured the Chernobyl Plant (including the Reactor 4 control room), several of the abandoned villages, and Pripyat. I have posted a photo journal of my trip at:
