Information from Obninsk Nuclear Power Plant (or a previous version of it) is being actively used in the pool of 'Did you know?' facts on the Energy Portal.
this article is a stub, it really should be expanded. this plant was very important in nuclear history. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.113.182.119 (talk) 00:12, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
Yes, that's right. But even the Russian article is rather short. -- Felix König✉ 11:13, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
From Article [RBMK]:
The first of these, AM-1 ("Атом Мирный", Atom Mirny, Russian for "peaceful atom") produced 5 MW of electricity (30 MW thermal) and delivered power to Obninsk from 1954 until 1959 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.2.246.197 (talk) 21:57, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
It was not research nuclear power station !! It was normally working nuclear plant staion which producting energy for population. And where is sources about the last changings in the article? 217.76.1.22 (talk) 06:04, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
At least the IAEO ([1] list the reactor as a power reactor. It is definitely not a research reactor (these are designed to irradiate samples), but a prototype reactor. Not a normal, 'commercial' power station, but still worth connecting it to the grid.--Ulrich67 (talk) 21:03, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
It would be interesting to know, who coined the name for the reactor, and when. Eisenhower gave his "Atoms for Peace"-speech before the UN General Assembly in 1953, in which he proposed the establishment of something that eventually became IAEA. In 1955-08-08_22 there was the first "United Nations International Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy" in Geneva. I would be surprised if the Russians didn't choose the name of the reactor specifically to chime in with the international sentiment of the time. The question is: Did they come up with "Atom Mirnyi" before or after Eisenhower? Before, specifically for, or after the international conference? --BjKa (talk) 08:12, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
Some sources say the Soviet Union established a program similar to the American "Atoms for Peace" program. I guess it would be worth looking into that claim a little further... --BjKa (talk) 08:27, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
