INDUSTRIAL STUDY URAL1SK USSR
Positive identification of the industrial facilities of Uraltsk
was prevented by the poor quality of
photography. The available photo coverage was limited to the northern
sector of the town and was dated
The enclosed annotated map was designed to give more positive
location to terrain and cultural features than that provided by
current maps. Relocation of the railroad and facilities was of
primary concern.
The numbered facilities listed below correspond to the annotations
on the map:
1. Ceramics Plant
A compact group of buildings occupy an area 840' x 600' at
its widest point. Eighteen rectangular buildings, 15 feet wide,
vary in length from 125 to 300 feet. Other facilities include a
furnace house, with smokestack, and a smaller building
with a conveyor to the adjoining stockpile area.
2. Fuel Storage Area
There are nine small tanks, feet in diameter,
enclosed by a fence. These are situated in a larger walled area,
approximately 670' x 385', with several small buildings. The
area is served by a rail spur.
3. Fuel Storage
There is one fuel storage tank, approximately in 25X1D
diameter, and three small buildings enclosed by a fence.

L. Storage and Assembly Area
This is an open storage area enclosed by a fence or wall,
approximately 51.0 x 150'. One small warehouse type structure is
found within the enclosure. There is a probable light assembly
site adjacent to the storage area. Five buildings are enclosed in
25X1D a rectangular area
57 Probable Light Manufacturing
A small enclosed industrial site, has a boiler 25X1D
house connected by pipes or conveyors to two adjacent buildings.
There are four other buildings within the compound. The compound
does not appear to be served by a rail spur although it is situated
close to rail sidings. A power plant had been reported in this area.
6. Storage Area
Small fenced enclosures adjoin the marshalling yard. A
number of small buildings are within each area. These are probably
used for storage.
7. Light Industry
The available photography covers only a portion of the
installation. Seventeen rectangular buildings are visible. Three
25X1D of these buildings measure and 14 buildings are 15 feet
wide and from 115 to 300 feet long. The installation is quite
similar to the nearby ceramics plant.
S. Construction Area
A probable barracks area was under construction here. One
25X1D building, and about 30 smaller buildings, were in the

area. Foundations appear to be laid for 30 or 40 additional small
buildings.
9. Light Industry
An area 660' x 500' is enclosed by a fence. Several other
fenced areas are within the installation. A boiler house, 90' x
is connected by pipes to three nearby buildings. The build-
25X1D ings measure There are also
12 smaller buildings of various sizes. The area is served by a
rail spur.
10. Unidentified. Industry
This probable light industry consists of several fenced
enclosures, a few warehouse type structures, and many small build-
ings. The area may be a part of the facilities at Number 9.
11. Water Tower
12. Fuel Storage Area
There are 11 fuel storage tanks, each approximately.'
feet in diameter, in an area served by four rail spurs. Three
warehouse type structures, two of them and one
are located near the rail spurs.
13. Construction Area
25X1D :our structures, were under construction. These
may be designed for some type of manufacturing or possibly for rail-
road rolling stock repair.
14. Walled Compound
This area may be a prison or military headquarters. Numer-
ous small buildings are found nearby.

15, Unidentified Installation
This is a wailed compound 230 feet square. It may possibly
furnish some type of power or fuel for the installation at number 16.
i6. Unidentified Industry
The area is located approximately five miles east of Ural'sk,
It is served by a. rail spur running from the main line at Ural'sk.
It is aiso 1,200 feet west of a. navigable portion of the Ural River.
A fence or mall encloses the main facilities which cover an area
of approximately 665,000 square feet.
25X1D A boiler house, has a high, rounded roof along
one side. A steam pipe or conveyor connects the boiler house to a
25X1D multi?storied structure, A special structure, 35 feet
wide, projects 65 feet from this building. A similar structure is
found on a smaller building in the complex. A building, 120' x 30',
and 7 smaller structures comprise the remainder of the facilities
within the walled area. Cooling basins or water purification beds,
440' x 1801, are found along the northwestern perimeter of the plant
area. Workers' quarters and administrative buildings are nearby.
17. Probable Storage Area
Two warehouse type buildings,
are located 200 feet from the Ural River in an area partially
enclosed by a wall.
Railroad facilities consist of two marshalling yards.
The larger yard is approximately 2,500 feet long and 9 tracks wide.
Service facilities are located at the western end and include a

25X1D probable Oar repair shop, and three smaller shops.
A roundhouse is located in the area but with no apparent track
activity. A through type station serves the town. Toward the
25X1D eastern terminus two warehouses, and 3301 x 30, are
served by rail.
The smaller marshalling yard is approximately 1,000 feet
long and 4 tracks wide, terminating in a reversing triangle. Five
spur tracks lead to a roundhouse, and an adjoining
25X1D service shop
