For those most-interested in the "nuclear" part of the title:

> As a result, the site — along with its 200,000 liters of diesel fuel, 24,000,000 liters of biological waste, and 1.2 million units of radioactive waste — was left behind, forever buried in the snow.

Not sure how much a "unit" of radioactive waste is here. The site had a PM-2A "portable" reactor, which was removed during decommissioning.
