| Abstract: | The basic questions concerning the development of a steam generator for a nuclear power plant with a VVé R-1500 reactor are
presented. The basic design requirements which follow for steam generators from experience in operating analogs at nuclear
power plants and taking account of the requirements for a reactor system are presented. The special features inherent to horizontal-type
steam generators, which have been mastered and are used in nuclear power plants in our country, are noted. The domestic and
world operating experience is taken into account in the development of the design.
It is concluded that the design of the PGV-1500 steam generator satisfies the requirements for the concept of a VVéR reactor
facility for a 1500 MW(e) unit of a nuclear power plant and is competitive on the world market for power-generating equipment
for nuclear power plants.
