<H1>Russia retires Chernobyl-era reactor at Kursk nuclear plant</H1>

<P>As 2021 drew to a close, the No 1 reactor at the Kursk nuclear power plant in 

Russia was permanently shut down after 45 years in operation, marking a major 

step toward retiring the country’s stock of Chernobyl-style RBMK reactors.</P>
