Chernobyl phase 3

Ukraine / Kyyivska / Prypyat /
 abandoned / shut down, unfinished / unbuilt
The 5th and 6th Chernobyl reactors were under construction when the disaster at reactor #4 occurred. These reactors were never put into service.

The fifth block was to be introduced in 1987 and sixth in 1989.
After the accident, construction was frozen, and subsequently canceled.

    Not completed 5-th and 6-th power units of the Chernobyl atomic power station it. Lenin and not put into operation. The fifth block was planned to commissioning in 1987, and the sixth - in 1989. After failure of work have been frozen, and then and are at all cancelled.

    No It was a good solid reactor design. The western propagandists crapped on it because it wasn't theirs and because it waas graphite moderated.

    oh, really, a good design? tell that to all the dead people.

    No It is not a good design... Simply because the void coefficient may become positive... And that's precisely what happened. A safe design do have every reactivity coefficient NEGATIVE! (If flux increase, reactivity must decrease) In Chernobyl, when void appeared in the reactor, the reactivity increased, increasing flux, making water flash, making void, making reactivity increase... exponential). So, any reactor design with at least ONE reactivity coefficient POSITIVE is NOT a SAFE design...

    thank god, it was never put on!!!

    These reactors were never completed... I think that it's better that way...

    the cranes are too much rusty to work again ,could be the same used to build pripyat?
  • fedel+kpo (guest)
    in fact, the work was halted in 1989
