Abstract
The various types of reactor systems which OKBM designed for different purposes over the 60 years of its existence are reviewed: commercial uranium-graphite and heavy-water reactors, reactors and steam-generating systems for naval and for civilian (icebreakers) ships, fast reactors, low-and medium-capacity reactor systems for regional power generation, and high-temperature gas-cooled reactors. The results of work performed by OKBM on the development of the cores of propulsion reactors and alternative fuel for VVÉR-1000 reactors are also presented.
