Abstract
The basic design solutions and characteristics of the VBÉR-300 reactor system for the power-generating units of 150–300 MW(e) nuclear power plants and regional nuclear heat-and-electricity plants are described. The reactor system implemented as a unit is based on the technologies and solutions used for marine nuclear power systems, which have been corroborated by experience in operating nuclear-powered icebreakers. The technical-economic advantages of floating power-generating units are substantiated.
