Russia to build world's first floating nuclear power station
Friday, June 16, 2006
Russia has chosen the remote town of Severodvinsk along Russia's northern White Sea coastlines for the world's first floating nuclear power station.
The station will float on a river flowing through the town and into the White Sea. The plant will look like a 10-storey building and weigh 21,000 tonnes. In five years it'll generate enough electricity for 200,000 people. The cost will be $336m[1].
