Achievements

The reactor AM-1 Russian: атоммирный (peaceful atom) had an electrical capacity of 6 MW but only produced around 5 MWe and thermal output was 30 MW, enough to power 2,000 modern homes (but the number would probably be different for 1950s Soviet Union). It was a prototype design that used a graphite moderator and water coolant. This reactor was the forerunner of the further developed RBMK reactors. RBMK is an acronym for the Russian reaktor bolshoy moshchnosti kanalniy (Russian: Реактор Большой Мощности Канальный) which means reactor (of) high power (of the) channel (type), and describes a now obsolete class of graphite-moderated nuclear power reactor which was built only in the Soviet Union. ...
