The most dangerous place on Earth

Published: 7 January 2000 y., Friday
They sit in a triangular relationship to each other, about 1000 miles south of the Arctic Ocean. Collectively they constitute the most dangerous place on earth. They are the sister cities Chelyabinsk-65, Tomsk-7, and Krasnoyarsk-26. In their heyday they were secret cities, not located on any map. They were home base for the Soviet Union's weapons grade plutonium production activities. Even in the aftermath of the cold war there are still three reactors in production (2 at Tomsk-7 and 1 at Krasnoyarsk-26). Today this area serves as home base for clandestine activity related to the underground transfer of weapons grade plutonium to all the nuclear power wanna be's in the world. And if that were not enough, this area also has been subjected to an environmental catastrophe unseen in any other place on earth. It's an environmental catastrophe so great in it's extent that reports of the Chelyabinsk-65 site commonly refer to it as the Most Contaminated Spot on the Planet. MORE
