ABSTRACT
In the previous two chapters we have seen how Soviet nuclear builders—and their foreign partners—devoted intense efforts to constructing nuclear facilities at a growing number of sites and to integrate these into local and regional geographies and environments. In parallel, centrally placed system builders in Moscow—mainly Minenergo and Sredmash— elaborated on the functionality of the system as a whole. This entailed the challenge of managing the intricate interdependencies that arose between different facilities. These interdependencies generated three important layers of macro-entanglements.
