Kursk Nuclear Power Plant

The Kursk Nuclear Power Plant (Russian: Курская АЭС []) is a nuclear power plant located in western Russia on the bank of the Seym River about 40 kilometers west of the city of Kursk. The nearby town of Kurchatov was founded when construction of the plant began. The plant feeds the grid for Kursk Oblast and 19 other regions. The four reactors at the plant are RBMK-1000 reactors, the same type used at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, but a different model. The plant was originally equipped with two reactors. Two more reactors were added between 1983 and 1985.
