The OK650-B reactor series are powered by 235 Urainium with Boron control rods as neutron absorbers they are a pressurised water reactor

Project 705 and 705K lira or Al'fa had the lead bismuth reactors of two types OK550 which powered the latter 3 boats and the BM-40A which powered the first 4 units this would lead to issues because they are two totally different designs and by different bureaus, they were also the only class to my memory that were fitted with liquid metal cooled reactors.

The Project 971 Shchuka uses the OK650B and also an upgraded modernised OK650M

OK650 reactors power the following units:

Project 945 & 945A Sierra I&II
Project 667BDRM & 09787 Delta IV & Delta special project vessel
Project 955 & 955A Borei & Borei modified
Project 685 Plavnik Mike class
Project 941 & 941UM Typhoon and Typhoon Modernised
Project 1910 Uniform is believed to be powered by OK650B reports unconfirmed
Project 971 971I 971U & 971M Akula Akula I Akula I improved Akula II (sometimes called Akula III)
Project 949, 949A, 949AM & 09852 Oscar I, II,III & Special mission modified Oscar
