Scenarios about 'mayak'
The Mayak Production Association is a nuclear facility in Russia's Chelyabinsk Oblast, established in 1946 as part of the Soviet nuclear program. The site gained notoriety after the 1957 Kyshtym disaster, one of the worst nuclear accidents in history, when a storage tank explosion released massive radioactive contamination. In alternate history scenarios, Mayak often serves as a focal point for exploring different outcomes of Soviet nuclear development or environmental catastrophes with global implications.
