Soviet naval reactors have been used to power both military and civilian vessels, including:
- Nuclear submarines:
- Nuclear icebreakers:
- Russian floating nuclear power stations:
- Nuclear cruisers:
- Merchant ship:
- Command ship:
They have included both pressurized water reactors and a relatively few liquid metal fast reactors.
OKBM Afrikantov has been the primary designer of naval reactors for the Soviet/Russian Navy for more than 60 years.
