Re #3

If Russians cut the station loose from their shore, it could drift to Alaska. Could it become an useful blackmail tool for impoverished Russians living in Arctic region? "Give us 10 million dollars this year, or you will have our mini nuke station!":)

Then it would start up its reactors and - let there be light!"

So, are we talking about really long cables over water, microwave transmission, what? I must've missed something in the article.

This has disaster written all over it. I hope the 200k price tag was a typo.

Yeah, there's no way. The underground mini version that some Alaskan communities have expressed interest in ran into the millions, obviously.

This is sure to make the envirowackos nuts!

They want to stop the drilling in Alaska but, just a few hundred miles away a nuke plant producing more juice than the oil!

Given Russia's record with their nuke sub fleet rotting and sinking in port with the nuke power plants still aoard this does not bode well.

Re #15

As I said earlier, it could be more useful as an extortion scheme.

You should have seen the screw up in Thule Greenland. We built a nuke power plant on the glacier. When it was started.The ice started to melt. They put refrigeration cooling tubes under the plant. It not only melted more ice. But started to melt the threm-o-frost. It was shut down then moved to a naval ship anchored in the harbor. Then electricity for the base was now supplied from the ship. This was back in the 60s.

Re #16

Gamble your money away sitting next to a potentially leaky nuke reactor? Sounds too risky even for high risk takers.:)
