Reactor hall of the RBMK-1500 at Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant, Lithuania—the upper biological shield (UBS) lies several meters below the floor of the reactor hall. There are no channel covers on the fuel channels of the reactor; the control rod drives are below the colored covers. RBMK reactor with fuel channel covers. The top of the reactor ...

English: RBMK-Core of Chernobyl-4: Positions of control rods (insertion depth in centimeters) approximately 1min30s before the explosion on Saturday, 26. April 1986, last signal of SKALA control system at 1:22:30 h. green: (167) control rods blue: (12) neutron detectors yellow: (32) shortened absorber rods inserted from below the reactor core
English: Generation II nuclear reactor vessel sizes of similar power output: PWR: typical Westinghouse 4 loop reactor pressure vessel (3411MWt, 1125MWe). CANDU: Darlington reactor calandria (2657MWt, 935MWe). BWR-4 reactor pressure vessel (3293MWt, 1098MWe). RBMK-1000 reactor steel vessel, biological shields, and water tank (3200MWt, 1000MWe).
Chernobyl Reactor 5 was initially abandoned after the 1986 disaster, but final decisions to halt work occurred in 1989 as safety and cost concerns grew. The Ukrainian government fully decommissioned the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 2000, closing down operations of the remaining active reactors and stopping any possible revival of Reactors 5 ...
The aim of the template is to show the characteristics of an reactor design (e.g. RBMK) or individual experimental or prototype reactors (e.g. Chicago Pile-1 or Superphénix), but not for individual power plants (e.g. not Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant)
