====USSR/Russia==== *Small lead-cooled fast reactors were used for [[nuclear marine propulsion|naval propulsion]], particularly by the [[Soviet Navy]]. *BR-5 - was a research-focused fast-neutron reactor at the Institute of Physics and Energy in Obninsk from 1959 to 2002. *[[BN-350]] was constructed by the Soviet Union in Shevchenko (today's [[Aqtau]]) on the [[Caspian Sea]], It produced 130 MWe plus 80,000 tons of fresh water per day. *IBR was a research-focused pulsed fast-neutron reactor at the Joint Institute of Nuclear Research in Dubna (near Moscow) put into operation in 1984 till 2006. *RORSATs - 33 space fast reactors were launched by the Soviet Union from 1989 to 1990 as part of a program known as the Radar Ocean Reconnaissance Satellite (RORSAT) in the US. Typically, the reactors produced approximately 3 kWe. *[[BES-5]] - was a sodium cooled space reactor launched as part of the RORSAT program which produced 5 kWe. *[[BR-5]] - was a 5 MWt sodium fast reactor operated by the USSR in 1961 primarily for materials testing. *[[Russian Alpha 8 PbBi]] - was a series of lead-bismuth cooled fast reactors used aboard submarines. The submarines functioned as killer submarines, staying in harbor then attacking due to the high speeds achievable by the sub.
