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 ]
Branded with that unmistakable atomic logo, the nuclear power plant will be towed through the Baltic Sea where it will then be loaded with nuclear fuel. Russia's first floating power plant dubbed ...
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.

They are pressurized water reactors (PWR) fueled by either 30–40% or 90% [note 1] enriched uranium-235 fuel to produce 135 to 171 MW of thermal power. [2] The KLT-40S variant is used in the Russian floating nuclear power station Akademik Lomonosov. It was developed by OKBM Afrikantov and produced by NMZ. The KLT-40S produces 150 MW thermal ...
