Chernobyl Reactors 5 and 6 are unbuilt reactors, a part of Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant's third generation phase. Intended as RBMK-1000 units capable of approximately 1,000 megawatts each, construction began on 1 July 1981 and was partially completed by the time of the Chernobyl disaster on 26 April 1986. The reactors were abandoned afterwards, with the decommissioning of the Chernobyl Plant in 2000 ending the possibility of their completion.
