Gee, do you suppose the lighthouse has a lens of some type or does the whole tower just glow??? Scary to thnk there are hundreds of these nucleur powered lighthouses in Russia. Wonder how far away one can see the light.

This link is a bit old but it states there are 160 nuclear powered lighthouses in Russian and it sounds like quite a few of them have serious problems.

These Russian New-clear lighthouses work in a different way. Traditional lighthouses of course light up so you can see THEM. The Russian ones light YOU up so they can see YOU.
