The explosion and subsequent burnout of a large graphite-moderated, water-cooled reactor at Chernobyl in 1986 was easily the worst nuclear accident in history.
The Pebble Bed Water-cooled Reactor (PBWR) is a water-moderated water-cooled pebble bed reactor in which millions of tristructural-isotropic (TRISO) coated micro-fuel elements (MFE) pile in each assembly.
The Ignalina nuclear power plant (NPP) is a twin-unit with two RBMK-1500, graphite moderated, boiling water, multichannel reactors.
Here we use moss bank cores from a 600-km transect from Green Island (65.3°S) to Elephant Island (61.1°S) as paleoclimate archives sensitive to regional temperature change, moderated by water availability and surface microclimate [12, 13].
The reactor was graphite moderated and water cooled.
Both units are equipped with channel-type graphite-moderated boiling water reactors RBMK-1500.
The Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant NPPP) has two RBMK-1500 graphite-moderated boiling water multi-channel reactors.
Obninsk was a different concept again, graphite-moderated but water-cooled.
The AHWR is a 300 MWe, vertical, pressure tube type, heavy water moderated, boiling light water cooled natural circulation reactor.
TRR is a 5 MW open pool light water moderated reactor with seven beam tubes.
It is cooled and moderated using ordinary water and is surrounded by Beryllium as reflector.
