Chelyabinsk-65,in the country's eastern Urals has been renamed Ozyorsk. It remains closed to outsiders but people still live and work near the plant. Details of the disaster were first released to the public in 1989 as part of former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev's liberalization drive, but its impact on the local population remains largely unknown even now. VOICEOVER: 0002 The city of Chelyabinsk-65 (CHEL-YA-BINSK- 65) was so secret during the Soviet era that it didn't even appear on the map. 0009 But forty-five years ago it was the scene of a nuclear disaster experts say was as big as Chernobyl. 0016 A waste tank exploded at the Mayak nuclear weapons plant, thousands of square miles were contaminated and ten thousand local people evacuated. 0025 But the extent of the impact has still never been properly assessed. 0028 Environmentalists say no one kept track of what happened to the evacuated locals, and all the workers who were sent to clean up the area. 0037 SOUNDBITE: (English) Ivan Blokov, Moscow Greenpeace activist: " Part of population was removed from the trace (area) and part was left (in order) to see what will happen to human beings, who are permanently irradiated by such high doses. Part of these people are still remaining in the area. They are still residents of the area, which is extremely highly polluted. 0056 Some claim authorities deliberately destroyed medical archives to down play the damage. 0103 And, on the anniversary of the accident, environmentalists are warning of another impending disaster. 0109 In addition to the radioactive fallout from the nineteen fifty seven explosion, the Mayak plant regularly dumped nuclear waste into nearby lakes. 0118 Experts say the radioactive waste could burst into the region's rivers - triggering an environmental catastrophe.
