Video description:
On May 22nd, 2020, Thirteen years after construction began in 2007, the Akademik Lomonosov went into full operation. It is currently the world's only floating nuclear power plant. In this video we want to understand why Russia is building these new facilities and what strategic and economic advantages they try to gain.

What you've missed in the video: 1. There is a NPP in the village next to Pevek that will soon be closed, so Academic Lomonosov is first and foremost the replacement of that NPP. 2. Rosatom is actually the Northern Route operator, and Russian Arctic will eventually be pretty much "owned" by a single company. Rosatom will own a fleet of icebreakers, fleet of cargo ships, emergency vessels, ports, NPPs, even existing and future coal power plants, coal mines and company that produce mining equipment, not to mention new living quarters for the employees and their families. 3. Since Rosatom is in charge of the Arctic it will bring more nuclear technologies to the region, since unlike outsiders the company sees nuclear technologies as "green" emissionless technologies.

Brilliant idea. A floating powerplant can be moved, sold pre-built at a fixed price, can be bridging power for places for short term, switched to hydrogen production if not being used etc. Most public anti-nuclear concern is based on outlier events, like Chernobyl ignoring worse practices in other industries, or the need for cheap electricity in the developing world.

Russia's very size is precisely why it makes more sense to build seafaring power plants: If you can freely move the power source to where it's needed (oil and gas exploration, etc.), there's no need to build a vast network of long transmission lines, which can be prohibitively expensive (especially in remote, scantly developed areas), or to ask local authorities for permission to pass, which would inhibit the power plant's mobility. This is an elegant solution.

One element of Russia's plans for these ship-based nuclear plants the world could learn from is to make nuclear facilities, to the greatest degree possible, modular, leverageable, and repeatable designs. All the greatest products be they automotive, consumer electronics, commercial networking, and so on, are engineered this way. Who point is that when flaws or problems are encountered, that learning can be designed both in new locations as well as retro-upgrades to existing locations. The idiocy of our nuclear plants in the U.S. and Europe is that each one is a custom design. This goes against everything the general field of engineering has learned in the past 50 years. Because the public doesn't understand this, fear-mongering is causing us to lose the potential of this energy source. Certainly, renewables should be front-stage, but eventually, we will realize the huge loss of lands to sprawling wind farms, solar farms, and the like (hey, I have solar on my house so I'm all for renewables but the grid loss and land use is currently ignored). Neither should we go crazy building nuclear plants, nor should we stop focused development of the technology. But alas, balance is perenially lost in public policy.
@cianakril
@cianakril 3 жыл бұрын
Land based nuclear power plants will always be custom designs, due to different soil composition and hundreds of other factors at each specific site. Russia was trying to do serial approach ever since 80es and it didn't worked out - every new plant has to be modified for a site specifics even if the reactors are the same.

Nuclear is far safer than every form of renewables. I would put nuclear tech in the forefront well ahead of renewables. The only time solar or wind make sense at all is on a small scale, in a remote area. And now because of Russia that remote area needs to be away from the sea. So maybe a small village in Africa, off-grid, and with plenty of sunshine? Yeah solar makes sense. Other than that, not so much. Wind almost never makes real sense. I agree that we need to pursue pre-fab nuclear reactors. They can be made cookie cutter in the factory and safety inspected before ever being deployed. Much of the local reactor (concrete footing, etc.) can be built with lower skilled construction workers. Then you drop the actual reactor into place and flip the switch. The new Gen 3+ reactors are already walk-away safe. Many of the Gen 4 reactors will be able to recycle nuclear waste and use it as fuel. It will burn through all the long-life waste and create short-life waste that's about 1000 times easier to manage. I'm also in favor of finding creative ways to shrink the minimum size of a useful modular reactor. Then nearly all ships and boats can use nuclear instead of petroleum. This would increase the advantage of mass production and lower the average cost. If you can make the reactor small enough that a 30 meter boat can run on one, the 30 meter boats will become very popular and the 29 meter boats will become very expensive. Maybe the Gen 4+ reactors would be modular enough to fit on a 20 meter boat, in which case the 19 meter boats will still need petroleum and become more expensive to own/operate.

Clever. It'll contribute to Russia's grasp over the northern sea route and help keep China in check. No major power (China or US) would dare sinking one of these since the fallout would affect Norway, Canada, The US and Denmark. Likely bringing some kind of mix of the Five Eyes, The Nordic Council, Central Asian countries + Belarus, Japan and possible South-Korea and Taiwan into any conflict that arises. It's a safe way for Russia to strengthen its regional coastal authority while avoiding the high costs that would come with doing things via - nature wise - harsh land routes.

If you do expect to move it several times a year I might understand, but if it's largely just fixed in place most of its life then it's not worth it.

nuclear power plants are some of the safest structures in the world. Chernobyl happened because the USSR rushed the construction project which led to construction defects. and Fukashima incident was caused by a 9.0 earthquake, the largest earthquake ever to hit the mainland of Japan. since the first nuclear power plant construction in 1954, these two incidents were the only two incidents that ever happened. so far, nuclear power plants is the only electricity generation method that produce the most amount of energy and emit the least amount of CO2.

what you also should have considered is that these platforms might be able to cross blue waters and be used statically to bolster alliances, by lending these reactors for a short time. Furthermore, I dont think these ships represent any big investment compared to a conventional nuclear power plant, since they are using well established technologies. Moreover, they also have the advantage of keeping the capabilities and workers / engineers needed for building mobile reactors (with dual use) and therefore not loosing the capability to produce nuclear powers ships in the future.

There is an element of that i assume. But the main reason is Russia has a lot of remote arctic villages that can't be easily accessed by land or air and these villages need more electricity. The problem is installing power lines to these villages would be costly, difficult and dangerous. So Russia is doing the comparatively easy thing by building these floating power plants that they can park right next to the village and hook them up.
