Russia's first sea-borne nuclear power plant arrives to its base 9 hrs ago MOSCOW, Sept 14 (Reuters) - Russia's first-floating nuclear power plant has arrived to its permanent base near an isolated Russian town across the Bering Strait from Alaska, Russian state nuclear energy company Rosatom said on Saturday. © REUTERS/Maxim Shemetov General Director of Russian state nuclear agency Rosatom Alexei Likhachev speaks with General Director of Rosatomflot Mustafa Kashka as they attend a farewell ceremony before the floating nuclear power plant Akademik Lomonosov leaves the service base for a journey along the Northern Sea Route to Chukotka from Murmansk, Russia August 23, 2019. REUTERS/Maxim Shemetov Developed by Rosatom, the plant, known as "Akademik Lomonosov," set off on a 5,000 km (3,100 mile) journey on Aug. 23 through Arctic waters to reach the Chukotka region. Rosatom said it aims to make the floating station operational by the year-end. It would become the world's northernmost nuclear power station. The plant will replace a coal-fired power plant and an aging nuclear power plant supplying more than 50,000 people with electricity in Chukotka. Rosatom has long planned to launch the sea-borne power units, which, with their mobile, small capacity plants, are best suited to remote regions. It has said they can help the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions blamed for global warming. The small plants were designed to make it possible to supply electricity to hard-to-reach areas of Russia. They can operate non-stop without the need for refueling for 3-5 years. Environmental protection groups, including Greenpeace, have expressed their concerns over potential safety issues. (Reporting by Vladimir Soldatkin, editing by Louise Heavens)

What is the worst that could happen with a sea borne, russian made nuclear power plant?

Mother is the invention of necessity.
I doubt there could be a meltdown since sea water is right there to cool the reactor. It sure would not be like Chernobyl. ;) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Che rnobyl_disaster Chernobyl Disaster The Chernobyl disaster was a nuclear accident that occurred on 26 April 1986 at the No. 4 nuclear reactor in the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, near the city of Pripyat in the north of the Ukrainian SSR. It is considered the worst nuclear disaster in history and is one of only two nuclear energy disasters rated at seven—the maximum severity—on the International Nuclear Event Scale, the other being the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan.

Fukushima is now the disaster champion of all time and still going strong; no end in sight.

Yes after the earthquake destroyed the cooling system, they were pouring sea water onto the reactors. Apparently, that contaminated water which is now in storage bins, the Japs want to dump it back into the ocean and this has sparked outrage among fishermen. ;) gizmodo.com/fukushima-s-r...ill-have-to-be-dumped-in- 1838019184 "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one."

While Chernobyl has repopulated with flora and fauna and tourists go there to be amazed.

Ghouls. They'll all die of cancer just like the actors that did all the Westerns in the Nevada desert. “I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don’t care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it.

Lol, what could go wrong indeed? “I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them.

I don't think it's a case of them *wanting* to dump it. It's more of a case of running out of space to put contaminated sea water. If they run out of space then they'll have no choice. Though it seems they should be able to reuse the contaminated sea water they already have, which would make space for more. But they didn't hire me as a consultant so they'll just have to keep on doing stupid stuff, I guess. I still don't get why thorium reactors haven't already been built. Again, they didn't hire me so....
Man what a contraption. Where's the swimming pool? I sure hope it can carry about 50,000 gallons of fuel. It'll need every drop to make it between desert gas stations. That better be one ultra powerful wind storm engine on top to push that sucker through shifting sands.
Much to their chagrin I would say. LOL "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
the blue bus driver where you taking us? “I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them.

It is like in the movie The Matrix when they move around in a hovercraft and the persons are plugged in to the computer simulation. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
