Reactor
Two pressurised water reactors, model VM-A with a capacity of 2 x 70 MWt (2
x 17 500 hp). The reactors ran at 100% power starting with submarine K-172.

Construction Yard
Sever Machine Building Factory and Komsomolsk-na-Amur.
Individual submarines

submarine is moored at the naval shipyard Shkval in Polyarny with a severely
damaged reactor following an accident on June 25-26,
1989.[203] Pressurised air is pumped into
the hull to keep the submarine afloat. The fuel in the undamaged reactor will
be removed once the radiation has fallen to a safe level. There are also plans
to remove the fuel from the damaged reactor.
