Research reactors
(There are approximately 109 research reactors in Russia. [11] )
Research reactors
- Vinča Institute - Center for Nuclear
Technologies and Research, Vinča
- RA - Reaktor A (1956–2002) - 6.5 MW heavy water moderated and
cooled research reactor
- RB - Reaktor B (1958-...) - At the very beginning the RB
reactor was designed and constructed as an unreflected zero power heavy
water - natural uranium critical assembly. First criticality was
reached in April 1958. Later, the 2% enriched metal uranium fuel and
80% enriched UO2 fuel were obtained and used in the reactor core.
Modifications of the reactor control, safety and dosimetry systems
(1960, 1976, 1988) converted the RB critical assembly to a flexible
heavy water reflected experimental reactor with 1 W nominal power,
operable up to 50 W. Several coupled fast-thermal systems were designed
and constructed at RB reactor in the early 1990s, for the research in
fast reactors physics.
(For more information on the subject, please visit [12])
- Bohunice - 4 408 MWe WWER (aka
VVER),
- Bohunice V-1 - 2x WWER-440/V230 (unit #1 shut down on

- Bohunice A-1 - 1x 144 MWe KS-150 (shut
down after a 1977 refuelling incident; decommission in progress since
