	Lonely Planet's Guide to Kazakstan
		Stuck between the desert and the Caspian Sea, with all its water derived from desalination plants, the town of Aqtau in western Kazakstan is one of the world's great 'why-on-earth-does-anyone-live-here?' places.
		It didn't exist at all until 1963 when Soviet architects began to lay out a model town of wide, straight streets and apartment blocks after uranium deposits were found nearby.
		Aqtau's improbability is enhanced by the fact that it's hundreds of kilometres from any other town and not linked to anywhere by decent roads (supplies are mainly freighted in by air).

		Despite the recent grassroots success, Atakhanova said that nuclear tensions remain and that the import of nuclear waste into Kazakhstan was likely postponed rather than cancelled.
