VVER — Vodo-Vodyanoy Energetichesky Reaktor (Water-Water Power Reactor)
Russian pressurized water reactor design, analogous to Western PWRs but with distinct engineering choices: hexagonal fuel assemblies, horizontal steam generators, and no liner in the pressure vessel. Modern VVER-1200 (Gen III+) features passive safety systems.
