Russia launches floating nuclear power plant on Baltic Sea (updated)
Multiple nations, including China and the US, have pursued offshore or floating nuclear reactors, and now Russia will give it a go. Russia has launched a floating nuclear power plant or its own, the 70-megawatt Academik Lomonosov, on the Baltic Sea. Starting from St. Petersburg, it will be towed around Norway to a Russian town called Murmansk to take on nuclear fuel. From there, it will head to the Arctic to power the oil-industry town of Pevek, along with a desalination plant and drilling rigs.
