Russia prepares to commission ‘world’s first’ floating nuclear plant

Russia is preparing to fully commission the “world’s only” floating nuclear power plant this summer after announcing it had completed a series of successful tests.

The waterborne Akademik Lomonosov plant is the creation of Russia’s state-owned Rosatom nuclear energy company, which has set its sights on delivering power to remote locations in the country’s north and far east.

It has been dubbed the “Chernobyl on ice” by Greenpeace.
