World’s First Floating Atomic Reactor Soon
ADVERTISEMENTS
The world’s first floating atomic reactor is being built by Russia. The nuclear reactor will be built in a place where they usually build nuclear submarines. But environmentalists are opposing this idea as they are concerned about the environmental impact which such a facility could cause. Russians claim that they are building such a facility to provide electricity to remotest part of their country. But as far as I am concerned they should consider the environmentalist’s views also and then build such a facility. What is your opinion about this???

Russians will certainly take care of environmental issues, I totally believe on the Russian scientists. Moreover, after treatment of spent fuel, dumping it is easier now (more economic friendlier) as it is usually done in deep part in oceans.
Great article, bur the world’s first floating reactor was
actually installed within U.S.S. Nautilus, in 1954, and operated
critical in 1955.
