VVER-440, PWR, BWR), uranium-graphite (RBMK-1000, RBMK-1500, EGP-6,
CEFR), fast neutron reactors (BN-600), as well as for research and
vessel-mounted reactors.
VVER reactors are a series of pressurised water reactors originally
developed by the Soviet Union, and now Russia. Power output ranges
from 440 MWe to 1200 MWe with the latest Russian development of the
design. VVER power stations are used by Armenia, Bulgaria, China,
Czech Republic, Finland, Hungary, India, Iran, Slovakia, Ukraine,
and the Russian Federation.
