  2. VVER - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VVER

    The Russian abbreviation VVER stands for 'water-water energy reactor' (i.e. water-cooled water-moderated energy reactor). The design is a type of pressurised water reactor (PWR). The main distinguishing features of the VVER [3] compared to other PWRs are: Horizontal steam generators; Hexagonal fuel assemblies; No bottom penetrations in the ...

  5. Generation III reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_III_reactor

    The VVER-1300 design is also known as the AES-2010 design, and is sometimes mistakenly designated as the VVER-TOI design. The VVER-1300/510 is based on the VVER-1200/392M that was originally used as the reference design for the VVER-TOI project, although the VVER-1300/510 now serves that role (which has led to confusion between the VVER-TOI ...
