The first floating nuclear power station was the MH-1A, using pressurized water reactor built in a converted Liberty ship, which achieved criticality in 1967.Proposals to build a floating nuclear power plants off the coast of New Jersey and off Jacksonville, Florida were considered in the 1970's but ultimately scrapped.
An artist's concept of two Offshore Power Systems floating nuclear reactors A floating nuclear power plant from Offshore Power Systems being constructed in a shipyard Artist's sketch of a completed floating nuclear plant of the Offshore Power Systems design. Offshore Power Systems (OPS) was a 1970 joint venture between Westinghouse Electric ...
The Rosatom project is the first floating nuclear power plant intended for mass production. The initial plan was to manufacture at least seven of the vessels by 2015. [3] On 14 September 2019, Russia’s first-floating nuclear power plant, Akademik Lomonosov, arrived to its permanent location in the Chukotka region. [4]
MH-1A was the first floating nuclear power station.Named Sturgis after General Samuel D. Sturgis, Jr., this pressurized water reactor built in a converted Liberty ship was part of a series of reactors in the US Army Nuclear Power Program, which aimed to develop small nuclear reactors to generate electrical and space-heating energy primarily at remote, relatively inaccessible sites.

Akademik Lomonosov (Russian: Академик Ломоносов) is a non-self-propelled power barge that operates as the first Russian floating nuclear power station.The ship was named after academician Mikhail Lomonosov.
English: Nuclear reactor: pressurized water type. Water is heated through the splitting of uranium atoms in the reactor core. The water, held under high pressure to keep it from boiling, produces steam by transferring heat to a secondary source of water. The steam is used to generate electricity.
The Atlantic Nuclear Power Plant was a proposed floating nuclear power plant located off the coast of New Jersey. It was proposed in the 1970s by the Public Service Electric and Gas Company . Two Westinghouse 1,150 MW e (net) pressurized water reactors were ordered in 1972, and another two Westinghouse 1,150 MW e (net) reactors were ordered in ...
OPEN100 is a project that claims to provide open-source blueprints to build nuclear power plants.Its stated goal is to reduce the cost and duration of nuclear reactor construction and increase the nuclear power supply 100-fold by 2040 to aid in the decarbonization of the global economy.
