In addition, the design margins (e.g. margin to lifting the upper core plate) available for the reactor cavity were found consistent with the consequences expected during realistic accident scenarios. Ballooning and collapse of claddings were investigated to assess the capabilities of nuclear fuel ...
The RBMK-1000 type reactors were commissioned in Russia and Ukraine. There was a plan to build RBMKP-2400 type reactor, which has rectangular core instead of cylindrical one. It was designed to have a electrical power output of 2400 MW. However, no reactor with this power output has ...
High temperature reactorThe RBMK-type nuclear power reactors, still operating in Russia, are graphite-moderated with vertical fuel channels, using low-enriched nuclear fuel. The main challenge, which leads to the overheating of the fuel assemblies, fuel channels and other core components in channel ...

Speaking at a Ukraine Green Party press conference in Kiev on 4 December 2000, he confirmed the unreliable design of RBMK reactors. Chernobyl Closure--One Step Forward, Two Steps Back However, he says Russia plans also to complete the construction of a new version of an RBMK reactor - the ...
The current decommissioning of unit 1 represents the largest reactor, in terms of power rating, to be dismantled in the world. Unit 2 is still operating but Lithuania has agreed to shut it down by 2009. Although the government wants to keep the unit running, largely due to the country's ...
The main difference from the safety standpoint, primarily in the domain of deterministic analyses, between RBMK and other water-cooled reactor lies in the allowance in the case of RBMK, for even limited amount of molten fuel within design basis conditions (design basis accident (DBA)), to break...
