- Abstract
- One of the types of power reactor used in the USSR is the graphite water steam-generating reactor RBMK. This produces saturated steam at a pressure of 7MPa. Reactors giving IGWe each have been installed at the Leningrad, Kursk, Chernobyl and other power stations. Further stations using reactors of this type are being built.
