| Figure III.5 A declassified U.S. Corona spy satellite photo
shows the older section of the nuclear site as it appeared in
March 1970. Visible are the IRT reactor, three old laboratory
buildings, and one of the new laboratories (in figure III.4, only
one of these old laboratory buildings remains). To the west of
the old nuclear site is the civilian support area that consists
of research facilities, stores, and other facilities necessary
for the workers and their families. This area has also grown extensively
over time (compare to figure III.3). |
