Description

Fushun Power Plant in Fushun, Manchuria. Large power plant (View Number 2) showing empty foundations from which units Number 3 and 4 were removed during Soviet occupancy (part of foundation for unit Number 2 also shows in foreground). Loss of the removed 200,000 KW capacity in this plant threatens to flood the great Fushun operations (one of the largest open pit coal mines in the world) and has cut off most of the electric service in important urban areas - such as Mukden-Manchuria. Photograph taken during the U.S. Reparations Mission. Edwin Pauley was the U.S. Ambassador on the Allied Reparations Committee from 1945-47 (the committee that assessed the reparations the Axis powers could afford to pay the victors).
