The Romashka reactor is a type of nuclear reactor primarily associated with the Soviet Union's research and development efforts during the Cold War. Its designation, "Romashka," translates to "daisy" in Russian, likely indicative of the reactor's design or operational characteristics. The reactor is notable for being a pool-type reactor, which means it uses a large body of water both as a coolant and as a radiation shield, and it typically features a relatively small core.
