In compliance with the above referenced requirement, a search of
I Iphotography was conducted to locate and analyze the buildings of
the Institute of Metalloceramics and Special Alloys at Kiev, USSR.
2. The institute is physically located in two widely separated parts
of Kiev. The older of the institute locations is reported at Lavra, Tsi-
Tadel19, which is the address Qf the Lavra Monastery. A photo enlargement
of the monastery site is enclosed. As can be seen on the photo, nothing
distinctive is apparent which would readily prove the existence of a high
temperature research operation. No gas storage vessels or electric power
distribution equipment is visible, both of which would be necessary in
research of the nature presumably carried on at this site. There are,
however, buildings within the. complex which would be capable of housing
this type of apparatus.
There do not appear to be any manufacturing type facilities
connected with the monastery site.
The reported address of the new complex of buildings associated
with the institute coulcl not be found on any available map of Kiev; however,
-CIA Information Report- describes its approximate location.
According to the report, the new site can be reached by driving 5.2 miles
eastward, from the Kiev Circus, out Brest-Litovsk Chausse. At that-.,point a
right-turn is made and a distance of approximately .7 mile is traveled to
the road end. Here another right turn is-mad and after driving "a short
distance") the locatioi-of the new buildings is reached. The site is described
as having a small, two-story administration type building flanked, by a larger
building on either side. A fourth building, small in size, is reported to
be located "behind the further of the two large buildings".
