[en] VPBER-600 (RP) a vessel type PWR for the enhanced safety nuclear power plant of new generation as compared with the existing ones is discussed in the paper. The enhanced safety level is achieved through adoption of the following design decisions: primary circuit leak tight arrangement; integral reactor type; guard vessel for reactor and primary circuit systems accomodation; passive safety systems that do not require external power and control actions for actuation, or initiated from self-actuated devices. VPBER-600 RP safety level allows to use the plant both in NPP and in co-generation plant located near heat consumers. Scheme and design decisions adopted in the RP are described and main technical data are given in the paper. The focus is on the design decisions that provide realization of the formulated safety concept
