Testing and experimental substantiation are a significant and integral part at all phases of the life cycle of reactor equipment. The Research and Testing Complex (RTC) operates at OKBM Afrikantov to ensure that these tasks are successfully fulfilled. The RTC provides the opportunity of performing a wide range of research and testing during the creation of reactor installations as well as the development of the main and auxiliary equipment for the nuclear energy industry. The most significant work performed on the experimental base at OKBM in the last 15–20 years reduces to neutronics and thermotechnical studies of cores and FA, testing equipment for naval and civilian ship reactor installations and NPP, experimental substantiation of systems and study of processes occurring in them and the elements of the equipment in nuclear installations, and the study of the corrosion and strength properties of materials. Work on modernization of currently operating and creation of new test stands is ongoing at the RTC.

在反应堆设备生命周期的所有阶段，测试和实验依据都是重要的组成部分。OKBM Afrikantov设有研究与测试中心（RTC），以确保成功完成这些任务。RTC提供了在创建反应堆装置以及开发用于核能工业的主要设备和辅助设备的过程中进行广泛研究和测试的机会。在过去的15至20年中，在OKBM的实验基地上进行的最重要的工作减少到堆芯和FA的中子学和热技术研究，海军和民用反应堆装置和NPP的测试设备，系统的实验证实和过程研究其中以及核装置中的设备要素，以及材料的腐蚀和强度特性的研究。RTC正在进行正在进行中的现代化操作和新测试台的创建工作。
