Russia's first nuclear power plant reactor, in the city of Obninsk, south of Moscow, was shut down yesterday, because, as Russian Mayak radio reported, its further operation became pointless. The radio station reported that the reactor had come to the end of its life after almost 50 years in operation. The power plant will now be turned into a museum, though the shutdown process will take up to four years.
