The Soviet Union constructed at two AMB series supercritical water reactors at Beloyarsk in the late 1950s, AMB-100 (Beloyarsk 1) and AMB-200 (Beloyarsk 2). They apparently achieved a mid-30% conversion efficiency, on par with more modern nuclear power stations and much better than the efficiencies observed in the Magnox units and at Shippingport. Does anyone know of a good source for more information on the AMB series reactors? Did the Soviet Union carry out any additional research on nuclear applications of supercritical water technology?
