KEYHOLE photography of covers the Tomsk. Atomic
Energy Installation (56-38N 84-52E) but only a small portion of the complex
is visible through heavy clouds. TALENT photography of
provided excellent coverage. of the entire installation. 1/ Several areas of
probable new construction and activity can be noted on the new coverage
and it provides some information on power lines in the West. Siberian grid.
2/ Analysis of details of those portions not cloid covered is further ham-
pered by heavy haze. No buildings or structures can be discerned, just
general ground patterns and areas that have been cleared of.trees .
The following is a list of changes or areas of probable new construc-
tion and activity within the installation. Item numbers are keyed to the
photo mosaic of the installation from TALENT photography with the new
areas overprinted in red. ,
1. Mud Lake, dump area -,,the mud lake, a dump area for reactor
and chemical separation plant wastes, has been expanded 'to the west, ap-
proximately doubling its size.
2. Possible. new construction - a portion of this area was cleared of
trees on the TALENT photography, but in this clearing 25X1 D
had been enlarged. The presence of buildings cannot be determined.
3. Possible new construction - this area has been cleared of trees,
but the presence of buildings cannot be determined.
4. Chemical Separation Plant - the chemical separation plant area
has been enlarged to the west. The number or types of structures in this
new portion cannot be determined.
5. Possiblet power trace - this new clearing through the woods may
possibly be a rerouted power line due to the expansion of the mud lake.
6. Possible new pipeline or trench - a short section of cleared path
through the woods which may represent new links in the pipeline or drain-
age network.

7. Possible new construction - this area has been cleared of trees.,
but the presence of buildings cannot be determined.
8. Possible new construction - this area has been cleared of trees,
but the presence of buildings -cannot be determined. On TALENT photog-
raphy the rail line serving the chemical separation plant ran-through this
area.
KEYHOLE photography of reveals some
additional information on portions of the West Siberian grid which may be
relevant to the Tomsk installation. A double power trace can be seen
leading from Anzhero-Sudzhensk (56-05N 86-02E) eastward to' Tayga
(56-03N 85-37E). At Tayga the -lines split, one leading southwest to 'Yash-
kino (55-53N 85-26E) and the other leading northwest along the rail line to
Tomsk. This latter branch can only be traced approximately 5 nm before
it is lost in clouds.
