The kaolin quarry, known as the Ural "Bali", is located in the Chelyabinsk region, near the city of Kyshtym. This unique landscape is striking in its beauty: the azure water washing the white beaches gives it a resemblance to the tropical beaches of Bali in the Malay Archipelago. The quarry was used to extract white clay containing kaolinite and s

Description
Эпицентром одной из первых в СССР радиационных аварий стал инцидент на ПО "Маяк" в 1957 году. 29 сентября произошел взрыв, вызванный сбоем в системе охлаждения хранилища радиоактивных отходов. Эта авария классифицируется как тяжелая и соответствует шестому уровню по международной шкале МАГАТЭ.
Из-за сбоя охлаждающей системы взорвалась емкость объемом 300 м3, содержавшая около 70—80 тонн высокорадиоактивных отходов. Вероятной причиной взрыва явилось нагревание содержимого емкости до сухого состояния и последующий тепловой взрыв. В результате взрыва была уничтожена ёмкость № 14, образовалась воронка глубиной около 10 метров и диаметром около 20 метров.
Около 20 миллионов кюри радиоактивных веществ было выброшено в атмосферу, перемещаясь в направлении северо-северо-восток. Большая часть выброса осела на территории промышленной площадки, оставшаяся часть разлетелась в прилегающих областях.
