List of RBMK
Soviet type RBMK nuclear power plants were built exclusively in the Soviet Union . This design is a reactor line in which nuclear fuel can be removed and exchanged during operation. This property is also used for the breeding of radionuclides required in nuclear medicine .
Reactors in operation are color- coded.
Locations reactors of the 1st RBMK generation
In the early 1950s was in the USSR with the development of a pressure tube reactor with evaporative water cooling and graphite - Moderator begun. Several small plants were in operation at the end of the 1960s. After that, there was an immediate transition to block capacities of 1,000 megawatts (MW).

Locations reactors of the 2nd RBMK generation
The safety systems and auxiliary systems in the blocks from the second RBMK-1000 generation are more extensive and improved.
The RBMK-1500 was once the largest reactor ever built in the world before the only two reactor blocks realized in Ingalina were throttled to 1,300 megawatts in 1993. Today a number of nuclear power plants exceed the 1,500 megawatt mark. The currently most powerful reactor block in the world is located in Taishan , China , a 1,750 megawatt EPR .
At the time of the Chernobyl disaster , eight RBMK reactors were under construction. These were Kursk-5 and Kursk-6, Smolensk-3 and Smolensk-4, Chernobyl-5 and Chernobyl-6, and Ignalina-2 and Ignalina-3.
