Is this the Syrian nuke reactor bombed by Israel?

Some clever soul used the info from this morning’s WaPo story about photographs of the reactor circulating among intel types to try to find it on Google Earth. With possible success: follow the link in Dan Riehl’s post and see for yourself. The description of a small, squarish, nondescript building conspicuously removed from the surrounding populated areas but near a river does roughly match.

Independent experts have pinpointed what they believe to be the Euphrates River site in Syria that was bombed by Israel last month, and satellite imagery of the area shows buildings under construction roughly similar in design to a North Korean reactor capable of producing nuclear material for one bomb a year, the experts say.

Photographs of the site taken before the secret Sept. 6 airstrike depict an isolated compound that includes a tall, boxy structure similar to the type of building used to house a gas-graphite reactor. They also show what could have been a pumping station used to supply cooling water for a reactor, say experts David Albright and Paul Brannan of the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS).
U.S. and international experts and officials familiar with the site, who were shown the photographs yesterday, said there was a strong and credible possibility that they depict the remote compound that was attacked.

The compound’s distance from populated areas was a key detail, since reactors are usually isolated from major urban populations.
The site is also close to an irrigated area, which would explain statements by some officials privy to details of the attack that the facility was located near orchards. A small airstrip about two miles away could have been used to transport personnel to the site.
