Reactor vessel of Veronezh nuclear station, Russia
Interior of a nuclear power station. View of the reactor vessel of an RBMK-type nuclear power reactor. The RBMK design is used extensively throughout the CIS and eastern Europe, and is a type of boiling water reactor. In this design, the coolant water is converted to steam in the reactor. The steam is then fed directly to turbines to generate electricity. In 1986, one of the RBMK reactors at the Chernobyl power station suffered the worst nuclear accident ever recorded, and there continue to be some misgivings about the basic design of the type.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the interior of a nuclear power station, specifically showcasing the reactor vessel of an RBMK-type nuclear power reactor at Veronezh nuclear station in Russia. The RBMK design is widely utilized across the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and eastern Europe, functioning as a boiling water reactor. In this particular design, coolant water within the reactor is converted into steam, which is then directly channeled to turbines for electricity generation. However, it's important to note that there have been lingering concerns about the fundamental design of this type due to its association with one of history's most catastrophic nuclear accidents. In 1986, an RBMK reactor at Chernobyl power station experienced a devastating incident that remains unparalleled in terms of its impact. Despite these reservations surrounding its safety record, this photograph offers a rare glimpse into the heart of such a powerful energy-generating facility. Taken at Voronezh in Russia by Science Photo Library, it showcases both the intricate engineering and immense scale involved in harnessing nuclear energy for electricity production. The image serves as a reminder not only of Russia's significant role in global electricity generation but also prompts reflection on ongoing efforts to enhance safety measures within nuclear power plants worldwide.
