The RBMK-2000 would have had an increased channel diameter and number of fuel rods per fuel assembly while maintaining the same dimensions of the reactor core as the RBMK-1000 and RBMK-1500. The RBMK-3600 presumably similarly to the RBMK-1500 would have added turbulators to the RBMK-2000 design to increase heat removal.
The structure of the Kursk I plant is almost identical to Chernobyl's structure having two first-generation RBMK blocks ... [2] It has four RBMK-1000 reactors (1000 ...
Both units were intended to be RBMK-1000 and would generate approximately 1,000 megawatts each, and also be supported by two cooling towers located south-east from the reactors. They were side-by-side in the same way as reactors 3–4 were built. They also shared a water chemistry plant, a gas circuit plant, and an engine hall. [1] [2]
The plant has four nuclear reactors of the RBMK-1000 type, all of which are first generation units similar to that of Kursk and Chernobyl units 1 and 2. Each unit has a separate reactor building but the turbine hall is shared between 2 reactors. [2] In 2008, construction started on Leningrad II with 2 VVER-1200 type reactors. They will ...
The completion of the first reactor in 1977 was followed by reactor No. 2 in 1978, No. 3 in 1981, and No. 4 in 1983. Two more blocks, numbered five and six, of more or less the same reactor design, were planned at a site roughly a kilometre from the contiguous buildings of the four older blocks.

By 2013 about 75% of still operating U.S. reactors had been granted life extension licenses to 60 years. [5] 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 ...
