History
The first research reactor was built and launched in China, at the "Institute of Nuclear Physics," in 1958. After two years in the city of Lanzhou to her it was erected a "Physical Institute". In it was an accelerator of the brand "U-150", specially built at the Izhorskiye Zavody for the Chinese (150 - is the diameter of the magnet poles in cm), the cyclotron, the deuteron has the energy of 18 MeV. The following year, the organization in the city of Řež (Czechoslovakia, now Czech Republic) is building "VVR-S", a research reactor (4 MW).

The Russian nuclear vendor is building the first reactor power unit in Iranian Bushehr nuclear power plant located {{convert|400|km|mi|-1}} southwest of Tehran under a US$1 billion contract signed in 1995.{{citation needed|date=September 2008}} In 2007, Atomstroyexport signed a memorandum of understanding with Ciner Insaat Ticaret ve Sanayi to promote its VVER-design pressurized water reactors in Turkey. In Bangladesh, proposals have been prepared to resurrect the potential Rooppur nuclear power plant. In the UK, Atomstroyexport would consider partnering with a Western manufacturer for a new UK builder.
