Locations reactors of the 1. Generation

Beginning of the 50's was begun in the USSR with the development of a pressure tube reactor with boiling water cooling and graphite moderator. End of the 60's were several small plants in enterprise. Afterwards one turned into immediately on block achievements from 1000 megawatts (MW).

Locations reactors of the 2. Generation

The safety systems and auxiliary facilities with the blocks from the second RBMK-1000-Generation are more extensively laid out and better optimized.

The RBMK-1500 is the largest ever built reactor of the world.
