World’s First Floating Nuclear Power Plant

Russia is building the first floating nuclear reactor in the world. Receiving criticisms from environmentalists, each nuclear plant can supply electricity to 45,000 people and will have the ability to transform sea water into fresh water.

When completed next year, the first plant will be deployed in Russia’s Far East, the Kamchatka Peninsula, north of Japan. Greenpeace expressed its concern over the economic viability of the project saying that its cost of production is 40 percent more expensive than the traditional plants. Algeria, China and Indonesia have shown interest in the plants.

On the other hand, countries like Germany, Italy and Japan are turning away from nuclear energy.
