These facilities include the following stations: * Alpha transmitter Revda () * Alpha transmitter Seyda () * Large chimney of Karagandinskaya TÈC-3 ( ) * Chimneys of Rustavi Metallurgical Plant (2 chimneys – an estimate over 200 m high) If one could find out the height of the mentioned structures, then put them in the upper list, if the height is greater than 250 metres.
