You're standing at the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant, in the far northeast of Lithuania. Belarus is only 4 kilometres away, Latvia 7 kilometres. Don't let the name fool you: the town of Ignalina is about 50 kilometres from here. The nearest town is Visaginas, which was built especially for the people who worked here. There were about 5,000 of them.
