KLT-40 reactor


The KLT-40 family are nuclear fission reactors originating from OK-150 and OK-900 ship reactors. KLT-40 were developed to power the Taymyr-class icebreakers and the LASH carrier Sevmorput. They are pressurized water reactors fueled by either 30–40% or 90% enriched uranium-235 fuel to produce 135 to 171 MW of thermal power.
The KLT-40S variant is used in the Russian floating nuclear power station Akademik Lomonosov. It was developed by OKBM Afrikantov and produced by NMZ. The KLT-40S produces 150 MW thermal. The fuel cycle is 3 years. The KLT-40S also uses low-enriched uranium at 14.1% enrichment to meet international proliferation standards.
The KLT-40 design was further improved and evolved into RITM-200 family of SMR.
