If it makes one feel better the reactors are pressurized water reactors based on existing designs used in ice breakers.

Why isn’t a nuclear sub considered a floating reactor?

[rktman]

Uh, what ice? Asked the swimming polar bear. 🐻

Obviously Russia is real concerned about the feelings of “environmentalists.”

[shanover]

Isn’t this the same type of power plant that drives/powers America’s nuclear naval vessels?

BBC showed some video of the inside and it looks Rusty already

If it makes one feel better the reactors are pressurized water reactors based on existing designs used in ice breakers.

No different than a nuke reactor on Guam, it can't sink, BUT, it might "tip over and capsize"

...environmental groups have long warned of the dangers of the project, dubbing it a potential 'Chernobyl on ice' and a 'nuclear Titanic'.

That's one thing that's always true about environmentalists: they stick to the hard science, 100% of the time, and never, ever resort to crazy-@ss hyper-emotionalism! /sarc

So it uses a RBMK 1000 Reactor?

If not, its not Chernobyl

But of course, don’t let facts get in the way of scare tactic “journalism”

[fruser1]

I don’t get it. To work as a power plant it still has to heat water and turn generator turbines. From there, electricity goes out through the distribution system. A floating reactor does nothing for you.

We built one for a Greenland DEW station I believe.
It may still be there.

The title “Chernobyl On Ice” sounds like it should be an Ice Capades show. ;)
