    I would probably grab this for that ceiling piece alone!

    Really cool looking.

    Historically accurate to what?

    This place actually exists, it's not just a hashed up assumption on what we think a nuclear power plant control room looks like from our artistic POV. It's a like to like copy, down to the last detail.

    I admit, I'm intrigued what kind of nuclear power plant has a fragile glass roof like that! Glad you provided the option to make it look like more of a conventional ceiling. :)

    It's a popular design choice. Alot of the ones we looked at modelling had big open glass ceiling sky lights. Mainly square and rectangular in shape.

    Of what nuclear power plant control room? Having been in several nuclear power plant control rooms, from some the oldest nuclear plants in the US to some of the newest nuclear plants in the US, none of them look like that. None of them have a glass ceiling. At a minimum, won't pass seismic design standards. NOne of tehm have such a lack of alarm panels and indications. I have also seen photos of a few European plants and they don't look like this either. None have "fallout shelters".

    But I don't think this one is a nuclear power plant...

    It's not nuclear (it's like...90-something years old) but it is a power plant, and I'm entirely okay with the tiny amount of artistic license to add the word 'nuclear'.  It's a frickin' fanTAStic set-piece, and a historically accurate power plant.

    Gorgeous work, from a byegone age when nobody would even have thought of the security concerns of having a glass roof over your power station's control center...

    Thank you.  Like I said to vendor friends when we were making this it doesn't have to be usedin renders as a power plant. It could be a laboratory if you used your imagination. A evil villain's hideout and the rooms below could double up as interrogation rooms..... 

    The research I did said most the rooms like this with the glass ceiling are russian based. The modern control rooms even copy the old design but with Lighting panels instead of glass ceilings.

    It's not artistic license when "historically accurate" is added, then then defended in an answer. It also doesn't match any of the photos I have seen of current Russian design nuclear plants. Make no mistake, I think it is a wonderful set. I would have no comments if either the word " nuclear" or " historically accurate" were not used. Especially the embellishment of fallout shelter etc. When a PA says accurate, I expect accurate.

    Did you see the link I posted    http://www.123rf.com/photo_29810921_control-room-in-an-abandoned-power-plant.html

    I think it is the same one as Leana poxted a link to, but does have reference to it being Nuclear.

    If you compare photos of the power plant I linked to and the promo pics you can see it's definitely an accurate copy. Now I agree that if it's the case then it's not a nuclear plant, unless that control room has a "twin" somewhere else.

    If the shit hits the fan, glass or most other roof-types would be kinda pointless; at least it looks cool.

    Completely agree; one can find art anywhere, and can only say thank you to ForbiddenWhispers for bringing it to our attention.

    Those are generic keywords. Suit yourselves, I have 41 years in the nuclear power industry and it's not a nuclear control room. It's a great product and doesn't need a distorted, hyped, or "artistic license" description.
