I think it's a graphical representation of the RBMK control rods [1].
It's also in the last two images. These are replaceable control rods that were laid out in a circular pattern in the RBMK class reactors.

- wkat4242 4y agoIt's not nearly enough rods for an RBMK. Those were huge. And they had nothing outside the circle. Probably another type of nuclear facility. Maybe a medical isotope reactor? The second last photo looks like an RBMK or at least something that size.
- SoftTalker 4y agoThey had channel-type reactors before the RBMK (essentially earlier generations of the design) that were smaller. Could be what these are.
- vilhelm_s 4y agoIf you click on the picture it says it's the Kola nuclear power plant, which is a VVER-440 reactor. Searching for other VVER pictures, e.g.[1], confirms that they match. [1] http://www.nucleartourist.com/areas/vver440a.htm http://www.nucleartourist.com/areas/vver440a.htm
