Fuel: 5% enriched uranium in the form of ceramicuranium dioxide (UO 2) fuel elements with a cladding. Different cladding materials were used; initially zirconium, later on, stainless steel as well as a zirconium-niobium alloy were tried.
Fuel load: 75 to 85 kilograms
Power production: 90 megawatts
Distilled water was used for heat transfer and as a moderator. The core was 1.6 m high by 1 m diameter. It consisted of 219 fuel assemblies, totalling 7,704 fuel pins. There was a biological shield made of concrete mixed with metal shavings.
OK-900A specifications:
Fuel: 90% enriched uranium in the form of metallic uranium-zirconium alloy fuel elements
Fuel load: 150.7 kg
Power production: 171 megawatts
Three OK-150s were used to power the Soviet icebreaker Lenin at the time of its launch in 1957. Later, after damage caused by nuclear accidents in 1965 and 1967, these were removed and replaced with two OK-900s.
