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.
Reactor Number 3, from 1983, and Reactor Number 4, from 1985, are both operational. * Construction of Kursk-2, essentially new reactors of the VVER-TOI type, was begun in 2018. The two reactors ...
Chernobyl Reactors 5 and 6 are unbuilt reactors, a part of Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant's third generation phase. Intended as RBMK-1000 units capable of approximately 1,000 megawatts each, construction began on 1 July 1981 and was partially completed by the time of the Chernobyl disaster on 26 April 1986. The reactors were abandoned afterwards ...
