Inside A Nuclear Power Plant

May 22nd 2009 10:43
Here are photos from inside a modern Russian nuclear power plant. It is difficult to receive permission to take photographs inside a station so these pictures are rare indeed.
This particular plant is located near Smolensk city and it can generate up and 3 Megawatts with three reactors. This is one of 10 nuclear power plants in Russia.
