    Actually, it is the battery 14-15 and not a Fort. It has been decontaminated in 2000-2001.

    Nu au fost reziduri radioactive in zona. Si intr-adevar este bateria 14-15. O sa mun si poza.

    The Battery was indeed used for storage of mildly radioactive spent pellets and other residue. I have friends in the Atomic Research Center at Magurele and one of them has taken part in the clean-up operation. The radiation levels in various parts of the fort recorded immediately afterwards are still visible as painted numbers on the walls of the fort. If I remember correctly the figures represent levels of up to 15 rhm (roentgen per hour at one meter) when the lethal dose is in excess of 300.

    Aceasta baterie este cred cea mai vizitata, adesea puteti intalni alte grupuri care o viziteaza, ideea e sa nu va speriati unii de altii!
