The $450-million Akademik Lomonosov is the world’s first floating nuclear power plant, a 144-meter platform with 2 35-MW reactors. After towing the plant from Murmansk to Pevin in Russia's northern Chukotka region, the plant will supply electricity for mining and oil extraction to exploit untapped Arctic oil reserves as Siberian reserves diminish.
