	Soviet City, Home of the A-Bomb, Is Haunted by Its Past and Future
		The Kyshtym complex was built as the Soviet response to the American Manhattan project and was directed by the father of the Soviet bomb, Igor V. Kurchatov.
		In the March elections for a new national legislature, residents of the lush farmland outside the Kyshtym complex banded together behind Sergei Y. Naumov, the chairman of the Marxist Collective Farm in the neighboring village of Baigazina, who campaigned against plans to build three new civilian breeder reactors at Kyshtym.
		The Kyshtym complex also operates a reprocessing plant for separating plutonium from spent reactor fuel, it has the waste disposal site and Western intelligence experts believe there may also be a center for assembling nuclear warheads.

		Investigations to define the origin of an unknown being, appeared in the town of Kyshtym (Ural, Russia) in late 1990s.
		Later the body was stolen by unknown criminals, and it is still not found as of this moment.
		This expedition collected data, gathered evidence from witnesses, found a possible UFO landing/crash place, and explored a deep Sugomak cave, where the population of dwarf beings possibly existed in the past.

		During the Soviet period, the two plants were part of the same production chain, while Kyshtym was part of the same state enterprise controlling Uralelectromed, a copper refinery which Makhmudov acquired.
		Kyshtym’s production was close to halting in the late 1990s, and its management tried to hold out against a takeover bid by UGMK, enforced by a squeeze on ore and concentrate from UGMK’s mines to Karabashmed, which produced the blister copper for Kyshtym.
		When UGMK’s Uralelectromed announced in 2001 that it had acquired the controlling shareholding in Karabashmed, the Kyshtym holdouts disputed the legality of the acquisition in court, and tried to diversify their sources of raw material from as far afield as Mongolia.

		Located in central Russia, at the edge of the Siberian plain, Kyshtym was the site of one of the Soviet Union's first nuclear waste dumps.
		The main north-south highway through the area was closed for nine months, and when it reopened drivers were warned to travel through a 30-mile stretch at top speed with windows closed.
		The Kyshtym accident was kept secret for almost two decades.

		The Kyshtym disaster represents one of the largest cover-ups the world has ever seen and easily wins the dubious honor of being the penultimate pre-Glasnost Soviet-style nuclear conspiracy.
		Of course, there were many people in the area of Kyshtym at the time of the contamination and their stories gradually filtered out into the international community through a channel of ex-Soviet scientists.
		Apparently, the residents in and around Kyshtym had all been shipped out at gunpoint and their houses burned down to prevent them from ever returning.

		It was claimed that the creature was found in 1996 (1997?) at a graveyard at the village Kaolinovy by the pensioner Ms.
		Eugeny Mokichev who was an investigator from Kyshtym found the body in the cold-store and could not understand what was it.
		Nobody was astonished by the appearance of the creature because Kyshtym was situated at the center of the radioactive contamination zone which had appeared after an incident at the radioactive wastes store in Cheliabinsk-40 in 1957.

	Accuracy In Media - AIM Report
		An explanation of the Oak Ridge team's hypothesis about the cause of the explosion would have made it clear that the suspected explosive, ammonium nitrate, is not present in the nuclear wastes produced in this country, either by nuclear power plants or weapons plants.
		In describing what he said was Zhores Medvedev's speculation about the cause of the explosion that has been labeled "the Kyshtym disaster," Dan Rather said, "It was a small explosion, as such explosions go." The accompanying graphic that was shown on the tube showed the top of an entire mountain being blown off.
		Medvedev in his book cited evidence that when wastes containing tiny amounts of plutonium were stored in trenches from which there was seepage, it was found that the plutonium tended to concentrate in certain types of soil.

	AIM Report - May B, 1986
		The Oak Ridge team speculated that it was the result of a chemical explosion, perhaps because ammonium nitrate had found its way into the nuclear wastes as a result of processing designed to remove one of the isotopes.
		Apparently ignorant of the Kyshtym experience, the attempted cover-up of the KAL-007 shootdown, as well as the Soviet penchant for concealing lesser accidents such as airplane crashes, some of our media personalities seemed genuinely puzzled by the failure of the Soviets to issue a prompt announcement about the Chernobyl accident.
		It is obvious that they were concealing the known facts both from their own people and from the outside world, probably hoping that they could conceal Chernobyl just as they had success- fully concealed Kyshtym.

	Duma Deputy Mitrokhin to Fight for Evacuation of Mayak Area
		The most potent isotope of the long-lived isotopes present in the ensuing fallout in what has come to be known as the Kyshtym Tragedy was the 90Sr.
		Most of the remaining radionuclides released in the accident were absorbed by the sediments and lay at the bottom of the tank.
		Nonetheless, Mitrokhin noted, the high-profile attention enjoyed by Chernobyl liquidators — though their pensions may be pathetic — has not been not shared by their predecessors from Kyshtym, who receive no pensions at all.

		The Tass report insisted "there were no casualties." But Dr. Medvedev established that hundreds were fatally contaminated by the dust and debris of the explosion, which apparently occurred as a result of a heat or chemical reaction when large amounts of nuclear waste were piled into a dry lake bed 12 miles from Kyshtym.
		Civilian space photographs of the Kyshtym area and the plant under contruction were released last year by Space Media Network, which uses imagery from the French commercial satellite Spot.
