The water-water energetic reactor (WWER), [1] or VVER (from Russian: водо-водяной энергетический реактор; transliterates as vodo-vodyanoi enyergeticheskiy reaktor; water-water power reactor) is a series of pressurized water reactor designs originally developed in the Soviet Union, and now Russia, by OKB Gidropress. [2]
It would use VVER-1300/510 water pressurized reactors constructed to meet modern nuclear and radiation safety requirements. The VVER-TOI project is developed on the basis of the design documents worked out for AES-2006, considering the experience gained in development of projects based on VVER technology both in Russia and abroad, such as ...
VVER is the Soviet designation for a pressurized water reactor.The number following VVER, in this case 440, represents the power output of the original design. The VVER-440 Model V213 was a product of the first uniform safety requirements drawn up by the Soviet designers.
Control rod assembly for a pressurized water reactor, above fuel element Control rods are used in nuclear reactors to control the rate of fission of the nuclear fuel – uranium or plutonium . Their compositions include chemical elements such as boron , cadmium , silver , hafnium , or indium , that are capable of absorbing many neutrons without ...
This category includes power stations with the VVER-440, VVER-1000, VVER-1200 reactors. Pages in category "Nuclear power stations using VVER reactors" The following 33 pages are in this category, out of 33 total.
The nuclear plant has six Soviet-designed VVER-1000 V-320 water-cooled and water-moderated reactors containing Uranium 235, and also has spent nuclear fuel at the facility. ... Reactors 1, 2, 5 ...
The reactors are pressurised water reactor of Russian design, model VVER-1000/V-412 referred also as AES-92. Thermal capacity is 3,000 MW, gross electrical capacity is 1,000 MW with a net capacity of 917 MW. [28] Construction is by NPCIL and Atomstroyexport.
The plant has six VVER-1000 pressurized light water nuclear reactors (PWR), each fuelled with 235 U [1] and generating 950 MW e, for a total power output of 5,700 MW e. [2] The first five were successively brought online between 1985 and 1989, and the sixth was added in 1995.
