This joint photographic intelligence report is in answer to a request
for basic information on electric power serving the Ural region of the
USSR and for information on the status and alignment of two po~~ver lines
believed to be under construction between Asbest and either Verkh-Ney-
vinsk or Kamensk. The request also asked for a study of the area between
Sverdlovsk and Verkhniy-Ufaley for significant new industries which might
account for the large power capacity in this area.
KEYHOLE photography o was examined with TALENT
photography of in the preparation of the report. In addition,
collateral information was used to provide as complete an overall analysis
as possible of the availability of electric power to the Ural region.

INTRODUCTION
obscured by haze or drifting snow. Asbest, Kamensk, Kyshtym
Much of the Ural region covered by KEYHOLE photography is blank-
eted by heavy overcast or obscured by broken or scattered clouds, haze,
and drifting snow. The area between Nizhnyaya Tura and Verkh-Neyvinsk
is completely cloud covered. Between Sverdlovsk and Chelyabinsk, visi-
bility is limited to a few openings in heavy clouds. These areas are also
obscured by heavy overcast.
West of a line running from Verkh-Neyvinsk to Sverdlovsk to Zlatoust,
KEYHOLE photography provides considerable data which supplement the
analyses from earlier TALENT coverage. The limitations caused by
cloud coverage in TALENT photography over the Ural region are delin-
eated in ACSI-PIR-41-59, Military Aspects of the Urals Area. 1/
GENERAL DISCUSSION
The study of the photography and the collateral material of the elec-
tric power in the Ural area reveals that an estimated 6, 500 megawatts
(MW) of power capacity was available in the area in
exclusive of the power transmitted over the 400(500)-kv power line from
Volzhskaya GES, near Kuybyshev. An estimated 3, 500 to 4, 000 MW was
either planned or in construction at that time.
KEYHOLE photography provides coverage, additional to TALENT
photography, of power lines and electric-power installations serving the
Ural region (see Figure 2). Of these, the power networks around the
Pervoural'sk - Revda area, and Zlatoust (see Figure 3), and the Pavlov-
skaya GES, a hydroelectric power plant on the Ufa river at Pavlovka, are
significant.

Analysis and plotting of identifiable power-line circuits also suggest
areas for further study which are cloud covered on either KEYHOLE or
TALENT photography or on both. One of these is in the vicinity of Arti.
A second is around Bagaryak, which is barely visible in a hole in the
cloud deck. A third is the Kyshtym area.
KEYHOLE discloses the probable electrification of the visible eastern
portion of the Sverdlovsk-Perm' railroad.
A 400(500)-kv power line seen under preliminary construction for a
short distance out of Yuzhnaya substation on TALENT is revealed on
KEYHOLE as being apparently extended in a southwesterly alignment.
The observed trace is probably intended for the 500-kv power line re-
ported under construction between Votkinskaya GES, under construction
on the Kama river, and Sverdlovsk.
KEYHOLE photography does not disclose any visible evidence in
cloud-free areas of the two power lines reported to be under construction
between Asbest and either Verkh-Neyvinsk or Kamensk. 5/ A positive
analysis of power lines, faintly visible south of the conjectural site of
Beloyarskaya AES (see Figure 2, item X) is prevented by cloud and haze
conditions. One of these might be tied to Kamensk and be a section of
one of the reported power lines.
The search for significant new industries which might account for the
large amount of power in the area proved fruitless. No significant indus-
try was disclosed on the KEYHOLE photography in the cloud-free areas
between Sverdlovsk and Verkhniy-Ufaley.

to 4, 000 MW additional was either planned or under construction. About
400 MW additional installed capacity could be made available to the area
from the Votkinskaya GES when both power plant and the tying power line
to Sverdlovsk are in service. Significant installations of the Ural power
grid which are disclosed by KEYHOLE materials and briefly discussed
below are cross-referenced to the power plants and substations illustrated
in Figure 2 and listed in Tables 1 and 2.
Power Centers
Three urban areas in the Ural region can be considered both electric-
power generating and electric-power using centers. Power-line networks
within these areas are too complicated to trace on the map of the Ural
power grid (Figure 2). Of the three, Sverdlovsk has KEYHOLE-TALENT
coverage; Chelyabinsk only partial TALENT coverage; and Ufa neither
KEYHOLE nor TALENT.
Sverdlovsk Power Center
The Sverdlovsk urban area (see Figure 3) contains three thermal
power plants having generating capacities reported at 75, 25, and 24 MW
(124 MW total). 1/ All three are tied to the Ural 110-kv power grid,
which is also served by an important substation in the center of the built-
up area of Sverdlovsk. KEYHOLE photography, which is partially cloud
covered, does not disclose any changes in the local power-line network.
Chelyabinsk Power Center
The Chelyabinsk urban area contains two thermal power plants, each
reported to have a generating capacity of 150 MW (300 MW total ). 1 /
Power lines in the urban area can only be partially identified and plotted
from TALENT photography covering Chelyabinsk.

Power Plants
KEYHOLE photography discloses only one significant additional power
plant and no observable changes to power plants disclosed by TALENT in
the Ural region between Verkh-Neyvinsk and Chelyabinsk. 1/ The only
significant additional power plant disclosed serving the Ural grid is Pav-
lovskaya GES on the Ufa river (item MM, Table 1). Table 1 locates and
describes the power plants on the Ural grid, and estimates their capacity.
Substations
KEYHOLE photography discloses a number of substations not iden-
tified on TALENT material because of atmospheric conditions. Some of
these have considerable significance, including two at Zlatoust (see Fig-
ures 2 and 4 and Table 2 ).
A published USSR report states that Nizhne Tagil'skaya Substation
was "completed" and placed in service as of adding that
it was one of the largest in the country. Power was being received from
Volzhskaya GES near Kuybyshev, the report states. KEYHOLE photog-
raphy does not disclose any new 220-kv or 400(500)-kv power lines or
traces tying into the area of Nizhne Tagil' from any observable 220-kv
or 400(500)-kv power lines in cloud-free areas. There may be a tie power
line off the two 1-circuit 220-kv power lines from Verkh-Neyvinsk to
Nizhnyaya Tura disclosed in TALENT, which pass west of the substation
(item 15 on Table 2y in Nizhne Tagil'. Haze prevents detailed analysis
of equipment in the substation's enclosed area.
Details of the substations are given in the list comprising Table 2.
A number of power-line traces are seen on KEYHOLE photography.
Some of them extend the alignments of those visible on TALENT.

Power Lines Serving Arti Area
Two probable 110-kv power line traces, not discernible on TALENT
material, can be seen entering acloud-covered area southwest of Arti
and south of the northernmost bend of the Ufa river. One trace originates
at the substation in Mikhaylovskiy (No 34, Figure 2); the second originates
at the substation in Nyazepetrovsk (39.). Limited collateral suggests that
a chemical industry may be located in or near Arti. However, the visible
evidence that two 110-kv power lines serve this cloud-covered area sug-
gests that power may be used for some purpose not disclosed in available
source material, especially since available mapping provides no indication
of any industry or other installation necessitating such a power supply.
The clear KEYHOLE photography of the perimeter of this cloud-covered
area does ~ not disclose any other traces which might be for power lines.
Power Lines from Pavlovka to Ufa
Two power lines can be traced on KEYHOLE photography leaving the
site of Pavlovskaya GES (item MM, Table 1) in the direction of Ufa until
they disappear under a heavy cloud cover. They are estimated to be for
two, 3-phase, 110-kv power lines of either one or two circuits each. Since
Pavlovskaya GES is reported completed, it is estimated that at least one
power line is in service. .These power lines are not believed to carry
220 kv, since available USSR circuit diagrams of 220-kv and higher volt-
ages for the national grid do not indicate any plans for 220-kv circuits to
be tied into this power plant.
Power Lines Serving Bagaryak
Possible power lines tied to a possible substation (Item 40, Table 2)
in the northern section of Bagaryak (56-13N 61-30E) are seen on KEY-
HOLE photography (see Figure 5). Considerable activity is indicated by
the many tangental traces radiating from this small community. Limited

collateral information indicates the production of graphite in the vicinity
of Bagaryak. Clouds and haze, however, prevent analysis. There are
indications that a large structure is situated south of the possible sub-
station site.

Railroad Electrification
Several substations serving electrified sections of railroads in the
Ural region additional to those identified from TALENT are now identified
on KEYHOLE. These railroads include the north-south line generally
paralleling the eastern flank of the Ural range and the east-west line be-
tween Chelyabinsk and Ufa (Figure 2). Also, there are visible indications
that electrification is under way or possibly completed on the eastern
cloud-free portions of the Sverdlovsk-Perm' line as far west of Sverd-
lovsk as Kuzino (57-O1N 59-27E).
