		Mayak (Маяк, "beacon") is the name of a nuclear fuel reprocessing plant between the towns of Kasli and Kyshtym (Кыштым also transliterated Kishtym or Kishtim) 150 km northwest of Chelyabinsk in Russia.
		The plant is in the Ozersk central administrative territorial unit, formerly known as Chelyabinsk-40, later as Chelyabinsk-65, and part of the Chelyabinsk Oblast.
		The Mayak plant was built in 1945-48, in a great hurry and in total secrecy, as part of the Soviet Union's nuclear weapon program.

	Russian WMD Lax Security - CDI Russia Weekly #246
		And Mayak employees -- poorly paid and susceptible to bribes from drug runners feeding the closed city's growing narcotics problem -- are seen by the United States as the weakest link in the security chain.
		Mayak security has improved since 1998, when Russia's financial meltdown saw unpaid nuclear plant guards leaving their posts to forage for food and refusing to patrol because they didn't have winter coats, said Matthew Bunn, a Harvard expert on nuclear non-proliferation.
		Mayak also is one of several Russian nuclear plants involved in a program that dilutes weapons-grade uranium so that it can be used as nuclear power plant fuel, but not in bombs.

	Mayak
		The design for the Mayak spacecraft closely resembled the Arcos geosynchronous spacecraft with which it was to form the Marathon communications system.
		Four spacecraft would comprise the Mayak system and the design lifetime for each vehicle was to be twice that of Molniya: 5-7 years.
		The first launch of a Mayak spacecraft by the new Rus launch vehicle was not scheduled until 1997 or later, five years after the original schedule.

	Mayak Story []
		Mayak and its people are still suffering the horrific effects of radioactive contamination from 50 years ago.
		Between 1948 and 1956 radioactive waste from the giant Mayak nuclear complex was poured straight into the Techa River, the source of drinking water for many villages.
		Recently the deputy head of the Mayak plant told a government commission: We cannot guarantee the safety of the people living downstream of the Techa River.

	Russia: Living -- And Dying -- In The Shadow Of Mayak
		Mayak was created in the 1940s as the heart of the Soviet Union's nuclear program.
		It was not until the glasnost period that residents of the Mayak region learned officially about the explosion and about the regular river dumping of nuclear waste.
		Mayak has taken on a new role, storing and reprocessing spent nuclear fuel brought in from abroad -- a plan Moscow hopes will add billions of dollars and rubles to federal coffers.

	Ural Mountains Radiation Pollution
		At one point there was a 40 mile layer of dark foam over one section of the river (at this time, the fish in the lake went blind.) Not until radiation was detected in the Arctic waters of northern Russia did the government force changes.
		Mayak houses over 200,000 Ci of radioactive waste in a series of reservoirs which are in danger of overflowing.
		The fact is, the problems of Mayak occurred in the central part of Russia, away from the outside world and in an industry not involved in international trade.

	Радио "Маяк" / Radio "Mayak"
		"Mayak - 24" is Russia-s only live, national radiostation providing news, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, where you can hear breaking news, sport, culture, finance, weather, traffic reports and live coverage of Moscow-s life and local governments decisions.
		Mayak 24 has a unique, "rolling" news format, so you can dip in and out for short periods or keep listening all day.
		After many years of broadcast news experience, Mayak has determined that there are various areas of information that the listeners need that on a day to day basis.

	Russia
		Mayak began to store spent fuel and radioactive waste in temporary storage tanks in 1953, allowing the fuel to cool down and the radioactivity to lessen between reprocessing loops.
		The Mayak administration claimed that a thorough trial of the kiln with simulation solutions was necessary before it became fully operational.[10] However, the new kiln, called EP-500 R-3, was actually put into operation in late October 2001 despite the previously announced postponement.
		Mayak officials described the temporary reduction as "planned," although the report indicates that according to other sources the reduction came unexpectedly and the reason for the defect is still unknown.

	Mayak
		The Mayak launch vehicle family used common rocket engines, control and measurement systems, ground support equipment and other components based on a rational combination of technical solutions from both existing launch systems and those under development.
		Application of proven industrial processes and operation technologies would assure high reliability, safety and competitive cost for the entire transportation system in the global launch services market.
		The Mayak launch vehicle family was designed basing on the existing Zenit- and Tsyklon-type launch vehicles.

	Green Left - Mayak: the other Chernobyl
		Among Mayak workers, a total of 1380 cases of chronic radiation sickness were diagnosed between 1949 and 1968.
		According to Mayak deputy director Yevgeny Drozhko on May 5, the plant desperately needs money to build a further containment dam if waste is not to pour once again into the River Techa.
		Waste heat from this plant would be used to raise the temperature of the contaminated water in the ponds, increasing evaporation rates and lessening the danger of an overflow.

		Igor Kurovskiy, Mayak's deputy director of personnel and social issues, contends that though Mayak does not maintain records of drug abuse, it is in control of employee drug abuse and promptly fires those found to be under the influence.
		In her opinion, a 220kW substation connecting Mayak to both Sverdlovenergo and Chelyabenergo power supplies should be built; the Mayak substation, relay protection and backup systems should be reconstructed; and FMST power transformers should be connected to Mayak's main substation by independent lines.
		In his view, both Mayak management and municipal authorities should be involved in the upgrading of physical protection at Mayak, especially in the light of the heightened threat of terrorism.
