Ozyorsk is a Closed Administrative-Territorial District (abbreviated to ZATO in Russian) The town was secretly found in the middle of XX century as a place to develop and construct first Russian nuclear weapon. Nuclear plutonium production factories are situated to the south-east of town. For now (2006-06-21) this part of area is photographed with uncommonly good resolution =). That kind of picture is a massive headache of security personnel because it's still "classified". Now only one nuclear reactor is active here.
