RBMK Lab

See the feedback, not just the outcome.

Explore a deterministic, reduced-order RBMK-style plant model. Change rod insertion, coolant flow, feedwater, and turbine load, then follow power, steam voids, pressure, level, and signed feedback terms as they respond.

REDUCED-ORDER CORE MAP
62% POWER INDEX

A model lens for learning feedback paths—not operating guidance or safety analysis.

Offline learning tool

Follow the loop.

RBMK Lab keeps the first experiment small enough to understand: every displayed quantity is labeled, every major response has a plain-language explanation, and the model boundary stays visible.

Three experiments

Start balanced, explore a model shutdown event, or enter a deliberately sensitive positive-void experiment.

Causality on screen

Signed rod, void, xenon, thermal, and flow terms explain why the latest state moved.

Clear limits

No full-core neutronics, dose, plume, damage, or operator training claims. Read the assumptions alongside the telemetry.

Research-first

Sources and uncertainty belong in the product.

Historical context points to IAEA and other authoritative sources. The app does not replay the Chernobyl accident or present one simplified run as its explanation.

Privacy

Runs on your device.

RBMK Lab requires no account, microphone, camera, analytics SDK, advertising SDK, or tracking system. The core lab does not need a network connection.
