Obninsk Nuclear Power Plant

F1

Decommissioned Reactors ( gross ):

The nuclear power plant in Obninsk (Russian Обнинская АЭС / Obninskaja AES [ listen? / I], also АЭС -1) is close to the science city Obninsk, about 100 kilometers southwest of Moscow in the Kaluga oblast. It was the world's first nuclear power plant used for agricultural purposes.

Reactor

The reactor АМ -1 (Russian атом мирный - " peaceful atom" ) had a gross capacity of 6 MW. The net power was 5 MW, the thermal power of 30 MW. It was a prototype that used graphite and water as moderator and was water-cooled.

History

In 1951, the then Labor " V " was commissioned to build the first Soviet nuclear power plant. Leading role in the development were the physicist Dmitri Ivanovich Blochinzew, Nikolai Antonovich Dolle scarf, AK Krasin and WA Malych. On June 1, 1954, the reactor block was first put into operation. On June 26, 1954 he was first synchronized with the power grid. As the start of commercial production of electricity June 27, 1954 is given. Obninsk remained nearly ten years the only Soviet nuclear reactor for commercial power generation. The reactor was finally shut down on 29 April 2002.

It was planned to build a sodium-cooled fast breeder type BN -1600 in Obninsk. Whether there are still plans for the BN -1600, is not known. However, there are plans for a prototype of the 100 -MW "fast lead- bismuth reactor" type SVBR -100.
