Krasnoyarsk-26

Krasnoyarsk-26 from outside Originally uploaded by mortal thoughts.

Krasnoyarsk-26 is an underground city in Siberia. It houses more than 100,000 people, almost all of whom are scientists and researchers. Its doesnt have any official recognition and is not listed on any map. Its a secret city. Once inside, the residents are forbidden to have any contact with the outside world. They cant have visitors and cant discuss anything they do with anyone. Anybody who breaks the rule faces immediate death. (they sign this when they enter the city). Krasnoyarsk-26 is a wealthy city and all its residents have plush houses and everything anyone would need to live a luxurios life. So what do the people do? and what is the purpose of Krasnoyarsk-26? Krasnoyarsk-26 produces plutonium. The one that is used to make atomic bombs and nuclear weapons. It has 3 nuclear reactors which work round the clock. All the energy consumption of the city is also powered by one of these reactors. It was founded in 1950. And there are about 13 more such cities! Amazing aint it? 2 of the 3 reactors have forced to shut down - partly because of US pressure and mostly because of was getting very expensive to maintain (secretly). The 3rd reactor also cleverly provides electricity to the nearby towns. which is why it hast been shut down yet. They make their money by selling this weapons grade plutonium to other countries. The countries rumoured to have bought from one of these cities are Iran, Iraq,Pakistan, China, North Korea and a host of African states. Our friend Osama is also rumoured to have bought some from here through intermidiaries in Eastern Europe. Ill give more on this city and others a little later as I just remembered to buy something (oops! me and my big mouth :))
