Power plants of the third generation

Of the two third generation RBMK-1000 plants, one is in operation (Smolensk 3) and the other is under construction (Kursk 5). The ALSs of these units have two major distinctions from their counterparts at plants of the second generation they have no enclosure to receive steam and gas from the reactor cavity and their PSP has only one elevation. 

The maximum permissible pressures in compartments of RBMK-lOOOs of the third generation are provided in Table 10.
