The town of Visaginas in north eastern Lithuania was built by the Soviet Union to provide a home for workers at the Ignalina Nuclear Power Station. As a condition of entering the EU Lithuania were required to decommission the facility due to safety concerns. Jonty Tacon and Laurie Griffiths travelled to the town to explore how this loss of identifying purpose has affected the town and its residents.
