Sorry Russia but it has been done. The USS Sturgis. One of my instructors from my community college was an Army Nuclear tech on it, a rating that is no longer in the Army. He was in Panama and he told me that they used it to power the locks as the local power was unreliable. He said they could have powered Panama city if need be. I had never heard of the Sturgis before.

Akademik Lomonosov, the world's first "floating" nuclear power plant (FNPP) for installation in remote areas, has headed out on its first sea voyage from this Baltic shipyard here, Russian state-run atomic energy corporation Rosatom said on Saturday.

Chernobyl with a propeller. Your homework, should you choose to accept it, is to research the designs, respectively, of the RBMK reactor plant in Chernobyl and the reactor plant on this ship. Provide a reasonably detailed comparison of them. Then you'll be in a position to intelligently answer your own question.

The power company I work for seriously considered doing this in the 70s or 80s.

A nuclear ship. Who over heard of such a thing?

2 small reactors? Not a lot of risk. Plenty of ocean-going reactors in the world. I operated 3 of them.

My hubby was stationed on the Sturgis then and helped refuel it.

It’s a JOKE, Son!
Yes, I know that there are MASSIVE differences between the design of Chernobyl and of these seagoing plants. My dad worked in the Navy Nuclear Program so I actually do know a thing or two about floating reactors.
To: NorthMountain
For people that rarely make it past the headline you are asking a lot.
To: Buckeye McFrog
You should have know that it does not have a propeller!

Who knows, he may have know my former instructor. It was a very small rate.
