Lesson plan
MKER
The MKER ( : Mnogopetlevoy Kanalynyi Energeticheskiy Reaktor, translation: multi-loop pressure tube power reactor) is a Russian third generation nuclear reactor design. It was a development of the RBMK nuclear power reactor. No reactor of the MKER-800 type (and presumably other types) will continue to be developed, as ROSATOM have shelved the design.
