RITM-200
The RITM-200 is an integrated pressurized water reactor being developed by OKBM Afrikantov and is designed to produce 55 MWe. It would use up to 20% enriched uranium-235 and will be refueled every 7 years for a 40 year planned lifespan.[1]
The RITM-200 has a compact integrated layout placing equipment within the steam generator casing, halving system weight compared to earlier designs and improving ability to operate in rolling and pitching seas.[2]
It powers LK-60Ya-class icebreakers, the first of which is expected to enter service in 2019.[2]
