REQUIREMENT:
PIC/SI/R-48/59.
REMARKS :
The probable site of the Peiping Reactor has been identified 19 nau-
tical miles (nm) southwest of Peiping and five nm west-northwest of Liang-
Hsiang (see Figure 1). (One collateral report 1/ had previously placed the
location 20 miles southwest of Peiping but gave the town name of Chou-
K'ou-Tien, which is about 25 nm from the center of Peiping.)
Although the only available aerial photography is of extremely small
scale and does not permit a detailed analysis, several of the features visible
can be correlated with those on ground photographs of the reactor site (see
Figures 2 and 3). One of the key features aiding identification is a large
cooling tower near the reactor building. Other facilities visible on the
aerial photography include an electrical substation, a large "T"-shaped
building, a "U"-shaped building, and several smaller buildings. The entire
installation appears to be fenced, and the building layout is typical of insti-
tutional or research facilities.
