From its emergence to its current influence, VM reactor has left a mark in history and in the collective consciousness, which invites us to reflect on its importance and significance in today's world.
The VM reactor (Russian: реактор ВМ) is type of various series of nuclear pressurized water reactors (PWR). They were used singly or in pairs to power the Soviet Navy's submarines.
It was developed by NIKIET.
Series
- The VM-A reactor was the nuclear fission reactor used in pairs to power the Soviet Navy's Project 658 and 701 (Hotel), Project 659 and 675 (Echo), and Project 627 Кит (November) first-generation submarines. It was a pressurized water reactor (PWR), using 21%[1] enriched uranium-235 fuel to produce 70 MW (94,000 hp) of power. This is the reactor that powered K-19.
- The VM-4 reactor is a nuclear fission reactor using 20% enriched uranium-235 fuel to produce 70–90 MW (94,000–121,000 hp) of power. It is used:
- The VM-5 reactor was the nuclear fission reactor used in a pair to power the Soviet Navy's Project 661 Анчар - Anchar (Papa) second-generation submarine K-222. It was a pressurized water reactor (PWR) using enriched uranium-235 fuel to produce 177 MW (237,000 hp) of power.
