The VVER-1200 is a Generation III+ pressurised water reactor from Rosatom. 0 units are operating and 3 are under construction, out of 21 on record.
Rosatom's current export PWR, also designated AES-2006. It adds passive heat removal and a core catcher to the proven VVER-1000 while keeping the horizontal steam generators characteristic of the line. Operating at Novovoronezh and Leningrad in Russia, at Ostrovets in Belarus, and under construction at Akkuyu in Türkiye, Rooppur in Bangladesh and El Dabaa in Egypt. Rosatom typically supplies the fuel for the plant's life, which is the point of the export model.
