Floating nuclear power stations (Russian: плавучая атомная теплоэлектростанция малой мощности, ПАТЭС ММ - lit. floating combined heat and power low-power nuclear station) are vessels projected by Rosatom that present self-contained, low-capacity, floating nuclear power plants. The stations are to be mass-built at shipbuilding facilities and then towed to the destination point in coastal waters near a city, a town or an industrial enterprise. Although the world's first floating nuclear power station was MH-1A built in the 1960s into the hull of a World War II Liberty Ship, the Rosatom project represents the first mass production of that kind of vessel. Early plans supposed at least seven of the vessels to be built by 2015.〔 〕 ==History== The project of Russian floating nuclear power stations started in early 2000s. In 2000, the Ministry for Atomic Energy of the Russian Federation (Rosatom) chose Severodvinsk in Arkhangelsk Oblast as the place for building the first floating power generating station. Sevmash was appointed as general contractor.〔 Construction of the first floating nuclear power station, ''Akademik Lomonosov'', started on 15 April 2007 at the Sevmash Submarine-Building Plant in Severodvinsk. However, in August 2008 construction works were transferred to the Baltic Shipyard in Saint Petersburg, which is also responsible for the construction of the next vessels.〔 〕 ''Akademik Lomonosov'' was launched on 1 July 2010,〔 〕 at a cost of 6 billion rubles (232 m$).〔http://www.world-nuclear-news.org/NN-Russia_relocates_construction_of_floating_power_plant-1108084.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Russian floating nuclear power station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
