The RBMK (Russian: реа́ктор большо́й мо́щности кана́льный, РБМК; reaktor bolshoy moshchnosti kanalnyy, "high-power channel-type reactor") is a class of graphite-moderated nuclear power reactor designed and built by the Soviet Union.
Nikolay Antonovich Dollezhal (Russian: Николай Антонович Доллежа́ль; 27 October [O.S. 15 October] 1899 – 20 November 2000 [1] [2]) was a Russian engineer of Czech origin whose career was spent in the former Soviet program of nuclear weapons and later played an influential role in developing the commercial nuclear power industry of Russia.
Chernobyl Reactors 5 and 6 are unbuilt reactors, a part of Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant's third generation phase. Intended as RBMK-1000 units capable of approximately 1,000 megawatts each, construction began on 1 July 1981 and was partially completed by the time of the Chernobyl disaster on 26 April 1986.
Chernobyl's No.4 reactor that exploded was a generation II reactor, specifically RBMK-1000. Fukushima Daiichi's three destroyed reactors were generation II reactors; specifically Mark I Boiling water reactors (BWR) designed by General Electric.
The three sites (Kursk I, Leningrad I, Smolensk I) which all consist of 3+ RBMK reactors are going to be replaced with VVER-1200 units at Leningrad and VVER-TOI units at Smolensk (2 units are already in pre-construction phase with planned completion in 2033 - each rated at 1250 MW per unit - out of a total of 4 units announced) [12] and Kursk ...
The first Kursk RBMK reactor shut down in December 2021, while the first Kursk II unit was expected to be commissioned by the end of 2022, and the second unit in 2023. In January 2023, the 235-tonne steel dome was set on the unit 1 containment building, where it will serve as a key barrier between the reactor and the environment.

The overnight cost of construction in the seventies was a low 800 $/kW in 2016 dollars. [2] In 2019 a S&P Global Ratings report stated Russia's nuclear construction costs were well below European levels because of vertical integration, good learning-curve effects from serial production, and the large currency devaluation of 2014.
