East Ural Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia.
The East Ural Nature Reserve spans 16,600 hectares across the eastern slopes of the southern Ural Mountains, featuring forest-steppe ecosystems and diverse wildlife populations.
The protected area was established in 1968 following the Kyshtym disaster of 1957, becoming a dedicated site for studying radiation effects on natural environments.
Scientists from multiple disciplines conduct research within the reserve to understand the long-term effects of radiation on forest-steppe ecology and wildlife populations.
Access to the East Ural Nature Reserve remains restricted, with entry permits issued exclusively for scientific research under Rosatom's supervision and control.
The reserve functions as a specialized radiation monitoring facility, tracking environmental changes in an area affected by the second-largest radioactive release in history.
