Schematic diagram of an RBMK Schematic side view of the layout of an RBMK reactor core The reactor hall and piping systems of the RBMK reactor. The reactor pit or vault is made of reinforced concrete and has dimensions 21.6m × 21.6m × 25.5m. It houses the vessel of the reactor, which is annular, made of an inner and outer cylindrical wall and ...

Reactor hall No. 1 of the Chernobyl Plant A simplified diagram comparing the Chernobyl RBMK and the most common nuclear reactor design, the Light water reactor. RBMK issues: 1. Using a graphite moderator in a water-cooled reactor, permitting criticality in a total loss of coolant accident. 2.
The plant has four nuclear reactors of the RBMK-1000 type, all of which are first generation units similar to that of Kursk and Chernobyl units 1 and 2. Each unit has a separate reactor building but the turbine hall is shared between 2 reactors. [2] In 2008, construction started on Leningrad II with 2 VVER-1200 type reactors. They will ...
At the time, only two phases were complete, reactors 1, 2, 3 and 4. Both units were intended to be RBMK-1000 and would generate approximately 1,000 megawatts each, and also supported by two cooling towers located south-east from the reactors. They were side by side in the same way as reactors 3–4 were built.
