Static Test Facility near Shen-yang is Probably for SA-2 Type Sustainers
The horizontal test building at the recently discovered static test
facility near Shen-yang is probably used for testing liquid fueled sustainer
engines of SA-2 type surface-to-air missiles. The static test facility was
newly identified on photography, and earlier cove ra e shows
that it was completed sometime between 25X1 D
The test building at Shen-yang is very similar in configuration to a
Soviet test building at the Zagorsk Rocket Engine Test Facility Krasnozavodsk.
Because the Zagorsk facility has been associated with liquid rocket systems
in the past, it is probable that the Shen-yang facility is involved with
liquid systems. There is no photographic evidence of solid rocket motor
storage or handling facilities at Shen-yang.
Certain features of the Shen-yang facility indicate that it probably
tests small engines such as SA-2 sustainers. These features include the
horizontal position of the test cells, their. relatively small size, the
presence of more than one test position in a single building, and the
closeness of the blast wall to the building (60 feet).
Finally, the static test facility is only 15 nautical miles from the
Shen-yang Airframe Plant where SA-2 shipping canisters are frequently seen
on photography. Because of these canisters, this is the plant believed to
be the Chinese producer of SA-2 missiles.

CHINA
Recent Road Construction in the Ussuri-Amur River Border Region
Considerable road construction has occurred in the past 12 months in
that portion of the Ussuri-Amur River border region of northeast China
shown in Figure 2. This area was covered on clear, cloud-free KH-4 pho-
tography in Several all weather road segments which were
begun in have been completed and numerous existing roads have been
improved by widening, filling-in low portions, and improving bridges and
culverts. This system of new and improved roads directly connects several
points along the remote border area with an existing all weather road system
leading to the populated Chia-mu-ssu area farther to the west. No military
activity has been noted in association with the expanding road net.
Refugee reports have alleged that the Chinese began building a
"national defense highway" in this border region sometime after the spring
of II Of the seven border towns which this "national defense highway"
will reportedly pass through, six are now served by a net of fair and all
weather roads and the seventh remains isolated.

NORTH VIETNAM/LAOS
Further Extension of the POL Pipeline
25X1 D
Photographic coverage of late provides further information
on the POL pipeline being constructed in the panhandles of North Vietnam
and Laos. We can now confirm the linkage of the pipeline section running
westward from Vinh with the north-south pipeline (see Figure 3). The pipe-
line now extends for about 100 nautical miles (nm) within North Vietnam and
enters Laos through the Mu Gia Pass. A 15 nm segment of pipeline has been
confirmed in Laos, and field reports based on photography have reported
additional pipeline alignment that would link all confirmed segments.
Six POL storage areas in North Vietnam are now directly connected to
the pipeline, as are two probable storage areas in Laos. The locations of
16 pump installations have also been identified along the pipeline in North
Vietnam.
For earlier analyses of this pipeline construction, see IAS Notes of
27 December 1968 and 31 January 1969.

Probable New Nuclear Energy Facilities
Two new probable nuclear facilities have been identified on photography
in Czechoslovakia. One is believed to be a nuclear reactor research facility
and the other is a probable uranium ore concentration plant.
The first facility is a probable zero-power reactor building at the
Rez Institute of Nuclear Physics near Prague. It was first seen under
construction on photography and appeared externally complete
in A reactor of this type is normally used for training purposes
and to determine reactor parameters. The Rez Institute also contains a VVR
reactor and a 5-MeV cyclotron which were supplied by the Soviet Union.
The second facility is identified on the photography as an ore process-
ing plant near the town of Rozna, 23 nautical miles (nm) northwest of Brno.
It is believed to be for uranium ore concentration because of its appearance
and its location in an area where uranium mines are reportedly being developed
to replace mines being closed in the Jachymov region. The Plant was first
seen on photography in the late stages of construction in I land 25X1 D
appeared operational on coverage. The Soviets have long exploited
Czech uranium concentrates for their own use, and this is apparently the
second modern plant built to increase the output of these concentrates.
The other plant is located at Mydlovary, 9 nm northwest of Ceske Budejovice.
