Ukrainian SSR, northeast of the reservoir of the Pius
River.
2. Plant inqtAjjat-ions
Soviets said that the plant, an old installation constructed
in 1936, was partially dismantled and then blasted when
German troops approached in VJorl{l 'f'ar II. Its reconstruc-
tion started in 1945 and enlargements were still under way
at the time of observation. For plant layout see Annex 1.
For sketch of the boiler and turbine house see Annex 2.
Three turbines are in operation. .A railroad connection is
available.

soviet construction foreman).

location in the information
is a
.
The
plant is exactly 5 km south-
west o? t railroad str$tion, in an angle
formed by the small reservoir of the Mius River.
b. The report is of special value because:
(1) A comparison tith available records on the plant shows
that the best reproduction of the plant layout to dates is
forwarded as Annex 1 of this report.
(2) Essential postwar enlargements of the plant mentioned
by a rrevious source *, are confirmed. The enlargements of
the boiler and turbine house, northeast of the old building,
and the construction of a new and still larger building
seems to be correct. This new construction was mentioned
in a previous report to have passed the phase of surveying
work. The intended installation of 16 boilers in this new
building is doubted. It is assumed that
of both boilers and turbines is coi
building will be an independent poi
dimensions. The plant capacity wou
creased by the operation of this nr
ever, needs clarification.
(3) A previous report *, mentioned .only the number of boi-
lers but not the turbines. The, statements of the present
report and the details recorded in Annex 2 are presumably
correct.
(4) It is believed to be a fact that the watet from the re-
servoir is supplied to the plant via underground installa-
tions as is also indicated by the omission of above-ground
installations on the attached sketch. Previous different
information seems to be in error.
6..'The direction of the river has to be turned 10"0 degrees
