The Burns Hill Reactors are a Stronghold Crib in Saints Row: The Third.
Description
Located in Burns Hill, the northernmost neighborhood in the district of Stanfield in Steelport, the Burns Hill Reactors make up the majority of the city's (now-abandoned) nuclear power plant facility, and are featured primarily in the mission "Stop all the Downloading".
After being abandoned for unknown reasons, the Burns Hill Reactors, along with their surrounding complexes were converted into a HQ for Matt Miller and the Deckers. The techno-savvy gang wasted no time making themselves at home, decorating all three exterior cooling towers with neon-blue lighting fixtures. They also used the facility as a major front for their personal, online networking system known as the "Decker Use-Net". The Burns Hill Reactors later become a Stronghold (and Crib) under the control of the 3rd Street Saints.
History
Saints Row: The Third
Before the Saints takeover, the Burns Hill Reactors were still under the control of the Deckers, and they housed one of the gang's greatest assets, a special device called a "NEMO Chair" (believed to be secretly hidden deep within the confides of the facility). This device (according to Oleg Kirrlov and Kinzie Kensington) would allow its user to transfer their subconscious directly into cyberspace and interact with certain aspects of virtual reality.
The Saints' interest in the Burns Hill Rectors first began when The Protagonist paid Kinzie a personal visit to check up on her progress for their plan to destroy the Deckers. Kinzie explained that the "NEMO Chair" which the Deckers possess would give the Saints the ability to launch a direct attack on the "Decker Use-Net", the Deckers' central network. Without their network, the Deckers would be shattered because it served as the cornerstone for the majority of their cyber operations.
The "NEMO Chair", one of the Deckers' most valuable assets.
When the Saints assault the Burns Hill Reactors, Kinzie and The Protagonist start off by hacking into three security terminals scattered across the facility exterior. Then they fly above the facility in a helicopter so that Kinzie can track the chair's present location. After she has the coordinates, The Protagonist is ordered to parachute directly into the facility via central cooling tower. Once inside, Kinzie tells The Protagonist to work their way down to the "NEMO Chair" and kill anyone who stands in their way. She also mentions that they must be quick because the Deckers might already be trying to destroy the chair in order to keep its technology out of enemy hands. The Protagonist battles their way into the Deckers' HQ and manually switches off five routers linked to the chair in order to disconnect it from its power source. Once satisfied with their work, the Saints claim the Burns Hill Reactors for their own, and the "NEMO Chair" is transported to Kinzie's hideout in order to safeguard it from the Deckers.

Trivia
- The name of the nuclear power plant is most likely a reference to Mr. Burns from The Simpsons, as he also owned a nuclear power plant located on a hill.
- Before the mission "Stop all the Downloading", the top of the cooling tower is blocked off with netting to prevent getting inside. If the player lands on top using an aircraft, however, they will be prompted to use the parachute when they dive roll along the netting, and maneuvering the camera will allow it to look through the netting.
- The minimap inside the walls of Burns Hill Reactors isn't always correct and the GPS can lead you into dead ends. So following the GPS around Burns Hill Reactors is inadvisable. Try getting to the road around the compound before following the map.
- Inside the interior of Burns Hill Reactors (once it becomes a Stronghold), a magazine with Shaundi's naked photo can be found in the bathroom upstairs, on the side of the bath.Template:Fact
- The same magazine can also be found in the Safeword Stronghold, on the front desk of Angel's Gym, on another desk in an Image as Designed store.Template:Fact
- In Saints Row IV, the Epic Jump Quest Achievement is awarded for jumping from the top of the 3 Count to the Burns Hill Reactors without touching the ground.
