List of VVER
View of the two VVERs in the Finnish Loviisa nuclear power plant
Soviet-type VVER reactors were mainly built in Eastern Europe . Many of the completed reactors from the second generation are still in operation today.
Reactors in operation are color- coded.
Location of VVER reactors of generation 0
The reactors of the 0th generation (prototypes) were developed by the Soviet Union between 1956 and 1960, one reactor of the series was exported to the GDR .

Third generation VVER reactors locations
The 3rd generation reactors were developed by the Soviet Union from 1975. The newer reactors are among the advanced 3rd generation reactors . They have a higher level of security and efficiency. The developed reactors of the versions 412, 428, 446 are project-specific reactors adapted for export based on the model VVER-1000/392. The 3rd generation also includes the WWER-1160, WWER-1200 (AES-2006) and the WWER-1500.
