The Leningrad Nuclear Power Plant illustrates the past, present, and future of Russian nuclear power reactors. The Soviet Union constructed the first High-Power Channel Type Reactor, or RBMK, there in 1973. Russia is constructing one of the first VVER-1200 designs here and hopes to export these reactors globally.
The installation is located 40 miles west of St. Petersberg and 145 miles East South East of Helsinki. The complex consist of the Leningrad I power station (Show Blue), educational and technological institutes (Show Green), support facilities (Show Orange), and the new Leningrad II power station
