VBER-300

The VBER-300 is a proposed Russian pressurized water reactor of 325-MWe generating capacity designed for remote locations.

The exterior containment structure is 16 meters high and the working section, built with transportable modules, weighs 1300 tonnes.

[1] In particular, it has been proposed in a more powerful sister ship to the Akademik Lomonosov (2010) for possible use on the Russian floating nuclear power station (two reactors on a 49,000-tonne barge).

[2] The reactor has been proposed for use in water desalination, district heating and/or electrical generation.

It was developed by OKBM Afrikantov in cooperation with Kurchatov Institute.
