KLT-40 reactor

The KLT - reactor is a nuclear reactor that is used in the nuclear icebreakers Taymyr the class as well as the cargo ship Sewmorput. It is being developed by OKBM.

It is a pressurized water reactor of the third generation, which is filled with 241-274 fuel assemblies. The fuel elements consist of 30 to 40 percent enriched uranium. The reactor produces a thermal output of 135 MW. The electric power is 35 MW. The fuel elements of the reactor must be replaced on average every three to four years.

In St. Petersburg, the nuclear power station Akademik Lomonosov will be built as the world 's first floating nuclear power plant with two KLT -40S for the berth Wiljutschinsk. Construction of the platform with two reactors was on April 15, 2007. Reactor KLT -40S is to have a gross electrical output of 35 MW. The net electric power is to be 32 MW. The world's first floating nuclear power plant will be 144 meters long and 30 meters wide, with two KLT -40S reactors have a total capacity of 70 MW.
