Video description:
On May 22nd, 2020, Thirteen years after construction began in 2007, the Akademik Lomonosov went into full operation. It is currently the world's only floating nuclear power plant. In this video we want to understand why Russia is building these new facilities and what strategic and economic advantages they try to gain.

Everyboby: oh no, global warming
Russia: hmmm, opportunities
there is always opportunities even on a considerable disaster that can be global warming
Russia: finally a year around warm coast
it is not global warming, it is end of ice age
Technically there's a reason for Russia to even look forward to global warming, since their masses of useless land will finally become useful and even if they lose the coasts to the molten poles, it won't be too tragic for them considering their size
@@mrgopnik5964 there are no global warming, it is just end of ice age. Humanity's effect on global temperature is somewhere near zero

Russia: Largest country on earth.
Russia: "We won't be building a powerplant on land."
Its hard to build on a good bunch of their land
No more Chernobyl never again hence
They're building them on land too...
@@zolikoff its a joke
Russia's very size is precisely why it makes more sense to build seafaring power plants: If you can freely move the power source to where it's needed (oil and gas exploration, etc.), there's no need to build a vast network of long transmission lines, which can be prohibitively expensive (especially in remote, scantly developed areas), or to ask local authorities for permission to pass, which would inhibit the power plant's mobility. This is an elegant solution.
Brilliant idea. A floating powerplant can be moved, sold pre-built at a fixed price, can be bridging power for places for short term, switched to hydrogen production if not being used etc. Most public anti-nuclear concern is based on outlier events, like Chernobyl ignoring worse practices in other industries, or the need for cheap electricity in the developing world. The Russians are geniuses.
Most public anti-nuclear concerns are caused by dumbasses who have no idea how a power plant works. Fossil fuel power plants have caused way more accidents and have taken way more lives than nuclear power plants.
@@spinyslasher6586 well that also makes sense because the fossil fuel plants have been around for twice or three times as long as the nuclear ones. So any comparisons will need to be adjusted for time scale as well.
Most expensive electricity in the world. Ingenious.
Yup, I bet lots of communities are remote in Russia
@@vinny5638 even when adjusted for time scale the fatality rates for fossil fuel power plants far exceed nuclear power plants.
What you've missed in the video:
1. There is a NPP in the village next to Pevek that will soon be closed, so Academic Lomonosov is first and foremost the replacement of that NPP.
2. Rosatom is actually the Northern Route operator, and Russian Arctic will eventually be pretty much "owned" by a single company. Rosatom will own a fleet of icebreakers, fleet of cargo ships, emergency vessels, ports, NPPs, even existing and future coal power plants, coal mines and company that produce mining equipment, not to mention new living quarters for the employees and their families.
3. Since Rosatom is in charge of the Arctic it will bring more nuclear technologies to the region, since unlike outsiders the company sees nuclear technologies as "green" emissionless technologies.
He mentions at 3:06 the Pevek NPP and that Academic Lomonosov will replace it
@@DD-pw3cu He mentiones Chaunskaya coal power plant in Pevek, while NPP is in Bilibino, they both work in the same grid, and both shall be replaced, the only difference is that in Pevek there is an NPP now, and in Bilibino there shall be a new heat power plant.
So with so much highly sophisticated nuclear engineering, science, technology en knowledge can Russia fall short of ammunition, military equipment for such a small military operation in Ukraine
Rosatom does nuclear engineering, science, technology, mining en production en waste handling en reusing by itself, how can Russia fail to build or manufacture world most sophisticated weaponry, nuclear only dey been in ds for more than 8 decades if not a century
@@user-gh5zw6kj3r It doesn't "fall short".
Russian: Its clean, safe and green energy guys.
Also Russia: uses it to drill and mine one of the largest deep sea oil extraction ever.

And boomers still say stuff like all this is not real.
#1 reason: access to cold water 🌊 for cooling, as nuclear power ☢️ 🔋 plants require a LOT of water to cool the reactor.
@4:00 This could also contribute to global warming 🌏 🥵 since it is happening in the arctic! 😳🤯
@@bthemedia lmao wtf is with all the emojis?
@@bthemedia No, stop that crap right away. The amount of wasteheat is incredibly tiny compared to the amount of water in an ocean, not to mention its a very cold ocean. Many of the much higher power commercial reactors (around 1000MW) use river water as their third loop (condensation loop) and few metres away from the point where they realease the warm water it temperatures drops off to the background. If you consider the scales such reacors would literally mean warm drops in an huge cold ocean.
Greenpeace is really concerned by saving the nature rather than getting grants from "interested parties"? SRSLY?
They are looking out for their rivalling organization these days... BlackWar :D
Brilliant use of it as a flexible movable energy generator
Trust they design a smaller one that may be carried by road
@@KGopidas Those would be called SMR's (Small modular reactors) and they're definitely in the works.
I don't think their main purpose is to be "safer" if things go wrong with the plant. But rather to provide power to extremely remote areas of Russia when needed and to help those places develop faster. Long time ago I've seen another one of these Russian ship power plants that was powering one of their remote mining cities i think.
In video they not said two additional functions of this plant - it produce heat for city (in Russia centralized heat system) and desalination of water.
This plant supply city with a) electricity b) heat c) drink water.
If anyone's wondering about the scale perspective, the ship is 144m long and produces 70MW of electricity. So not that big, but come on, it's literally a boat.
Can it power my ebike?
More like a barge actually. The two new nuclear icebreakers types, as well as most of the Russian submarines are more powerful.
You really how small of a village it is right? 70mW is plenty
@@sweatyatoms7719 Yes. Together with all your stinking city and homeless people lying on the street
Там установленно 2 реактора "РИТМ-200", оба реактора выдают мощность около 400МВт. На следующей строящемся плавучнй станции и новом ледоколе будут использоваться реактора "РИТМ-400", что позволяет удвоить мощность.
Those of you expressing extreme ignorance with your scare tactics, the vast majority of aircraft carriers and submarines in the US arsenal are “floating power plants”
True, but this one is dedicated to the peaceful use of nuclear power, so it must be evil.
...Those Russians...!
That's so objective, was it on other news channels we would be hearing something like "Russia is building a floating Chernobyl" or whatever nonsense they write...
Make it Canada, Sweden, or any Western countries instead of Russia and suddenly it's actually a good thing lol. What a hypocrite
This is brilliant. It skirts the prohibitively expensive costs of power transmission infrastructure.

Great innovation from Russia. Hopefully it will be maximized to propel growth in their Artic region. In the Philippines, we have floating coal plant which can be stationed to any major islands expected to have electricity shortages. Very economical given we are an archipelago.
“Maximized to propel growth in arctic region” 😆😳😱
@4:00 This could also contribute to global warming 🌏 🥵 since it is happening in the arctic! 😳🤯
Nuclear power plants require a lot of water 🌊 for cooling and output lots of hot water.
In Indonesia too we use the floating coal plant from Turkish company. Hope next time we can build our own floating power plant, especially from nuclear energy. There are still many negative opinion from Indonesian for using nuclear and this Russian floating nuclear plant is one of the solutions.
@@bthemedia you obviously have no idea what you are talking about! Nuclear powerplant could contribute to Global Warming because it uses water cooling systems is like saying that pissing while swimming is doing the same!

@@agailham8476 a shame really, most people don't even know that nuclear power plants actually harness thermal energy, meaning the "smoke" coming out of those giant chimneys are actually water steam.

Waiting for the new upload. I’m still in Quarantine so need more vids. You have really good quality videos, you need to produce this series.
In Western Chukotka, the old Soviet-built Bilibino nuclear power plant is being decommissioned, since its reactors are already at their limit. Academician Lomonosov replaced this nuclear power plant, for this purpose new power lines were built from Pevek to Bilibino and there is a reserve of capacity to supply the extraction of promising mineral deposits.
Where is that majestic intro..?😢

The animation and graphic design are amazing!
One element of Russia's plans for these ship-based nuclear plants the world could learn from is to make nuclear facilities, to the greatest degree possible, modular, leverageable, and repeatable designs. All the greatest products be they automotive, consumer electronics, commercial networking, and so on, are engineered this way. Who point is that when flaws or problems are encountered, that learning can be designed both in new locations as well as retro-upgrades to existing locations. The idiocy of our nuclear plants in the U.S. and Europe is that each one is a custom design. This goes against everything the general field of engineering has learned in the past 50 years. Because the public doesn't understand this, fear-mongering is causing us to lose the potential of this energy source. Certainly, renewables should be front-stage, but eventually, we will realize the huge loss of lands to sprawling wind farms, solar farms, and the like (hey, I have solar on my house so I'm all for renewables but the grid loss and land use is currently ignored). Neither should we go crazy building nuclear plants, nor should we stop focused development of the technology. But alas, balance is perenially lost in public policy.
Land based nuclear power plants will always be custom designs, due to different soil composition and hundreds of other factors at each specific site. Russia was trying to do serial approach ever since 80es and it didn't worked out - every new plant has to be modified for a site specifics even if the reactors are the same.
Gor Mor Thank you! I didn’t know that; it explains a lot, as design reuse seems unconsidered here.
Nuclear is far safer than every form of renewables. I would put nuclear tech in the forefront well ahead of renewables. The only time solar or wind make sense at all is on a small scale, in a remote area. And now because of Russia that remote area needs to be away from the sea. So maybe a small village in Africa, off-grid, and with plenty of sunshine? Yeah solar makes sense. Other than that, not so much. Wind almost never makes real sense.
I agree that we need to pursue pre-fab nuclear reactors. They can be made cookie cutter in the factory and safety inspected before ever being deployed. Much of the local reactor (concrete footing, etc.) can be built with lower skilled construction workers. Then you drop the actual reactor into place and flip the switch. The new Gen 3+ reactors are already walk-away safe. Many of the Gen 4 reactors will be able to recycle nuclear waste and use it as fuel. It will burn through all the long-life waste and create short-life waste that's about 1000 times easier to manage.
I'm also in favor of finding creative ways to shrink the minimum size of a useful modular reactor. Then nearly all ships and boats can use nuclear instead of petroleum. This would increase the advantage of mass production and lower the average cost. If you can make the reactor small enough that a 30 meter boat can run on one, the 30 meter boats will become very popular and the 29 meter boats will become very expensive.
Maybe the Gen 4+ reactors would be modular enough to fit on a 20 meter boat, in which case the 19 meter boats will still need petroleum and become more expensive to own/operate.
@@protorhinocerator142on small boats the safety and cost would our way the benefits. With smallish vessels I think fossil fuels will always be king and ccs which is incredibly flawed can be used for that. However on big tankers, cruise ships, cargo vessels and the likes could definetly benefit from a nuclear makeover

Very interesting video! Keep doing these amazing videos. Thank you.
Opinion: So that Russia can sink the ship if the nuclear powerplant goes wrong..
Yep.
Big Brain
@Light Morningstar Fucking lol no it can't. The fuel used in nuclear reactors is nowhere near enriched enough to make a chain reaction powerful enough to result in a nuclear explosion. There would be a lot of steam if the reactors melted down, but that's *if* they melted down. The reactors are the same design as those already in use on Russian icebreakers.
Yeah right, and contaminate the whole ocean in the process. Looks like they want a second Chernobyl.
@@eyeofthetiger6002 Lol, Fukushima and the 50 years of atomic testing in the Pacific didn't contaminate the whole ocean. It didn't even raise radiation levels above the background of all the dissolved radioactive isotopes of Uranium and Potassium already in the water.
Very underrated channel with high video quality
Clever. It'll contribute to Russia's grasp over the northern sea route and help keep China in check. No major power (China or US) would dare sinking one of these since the fallout would affect Norway, Canada, The US and Denmark. Likely bringing some kind of mix of the Five Eyes, The Nordic Council, Central Asian countries + Belarus, Japan and possible South-Korea and Taiwan into any conflict that arises. It's a safe way for Russia to strengthen its regional coastal authority while avoiding the high costs that would come with doing things via - nature wise - harsh land routes.
Wow, this is very well thought out
"No major power (China or US) would dare sinking one of these" - How do you even imagine that the US or China decided to sink any ship in Russian territorial waters? Russia is carefully monitoring its borders, and will strike back immediately.
You wouldn't have "fallout" from something like a ship if reactor went bad it would melt through the ship and go to the bottom of the ocean along with the sinking ship. Do you even know what fallout is?
@@eraserstp well they won't dare to sink these power plants he means

It is also possible in future, while having more of such floating plants, to rent some of them to remote countries who is in extreem need of their own sources of energy to develop a better life conditions (like most of the African countries and some of the south-east Asian).
I'd like to add some info about Academic Lomonosov. It is not only electric power plant but also heat production. ALL cities in Russia are built with multi-floor apartments and heated by external stations. None of buildings have any boilers or so.

@@cianakril well, tow it there then. Same principle.
I don't understand why they don't use some of the power to power the ship, rather than making it unable to move unless it is being towed. They are supposed to be so technologically advanced so they have built a big floating thing that can't even move on its own.

nuclear power plants are some of the safest structures in the world. Chernobyl happened because the USSR rushed the construction project which led to construction defects. and Fukashima incident was caused by a 9.0 earthquake, the largest earthquake ever to hit the mainland of Japan. since the first nuclear power plant construction in 1954, these two incidents were the only two incidents that ever happened. so far, nuclear power plants is the only electricity generation method that produce the most amount of energy and emit the least amount of CO2.
About Japan: yes, and money for reconstruction was stolen. Purpose of reconstruction was to strengthen the plant to withstand such impact. So 2 nuclear incidents were due to corruption and stupidity of top management.
Chernobyl was the result of an experiment gone wrong, it was ruin by poorly trained staff, there's something called xenon poisoning in nuclear physics, this means that if a reactor is turned off it can't be turned on for 3 days. Fukushima was shit positioning of a plant, in a place that's been hit by tsunami for the entire of recorded history, idiots.
3 mile island was a partial meltdown does that count?
Plenty of reactors melting down no one's talking about look up Boeing's meltdown in California
Lmao you know shit about nuclear incidents
I have long fantasied about cheap factory built, modular MSR plants. Something that a country, town, factory, could buy and receive within a few weeks. Imagine what could be done with such a thing. Cheap, fast, clean power anywhere in the world. I can't think of anything else that can be done with currently available technology that could improve the lives of more people than that; while dramatically reducing carbon emissions.

"Why Russia Built a Floating Nuclear Power Plant"- *Points at US CVN fleet*
Unlimited power but it has to be towed everywhere. Damn son. Great vid.
you'd think they would at least put some propulsion on it, you know, bring an enormous power plant an all
I'd guess that putting a propulsion/navigation/control system on it just for the two trips it makes once every 12-15 years would be quite a waste. It's cheaper to just tow it.
If you do expect to move it several times a year I might understand, but if it's largely just fixed in place most of its life then it's not worth it.
I agree with the guy above me, it would be useless to have a complicated steam turbine rusting. Plus, there would be no way this sails alone trough the artic, since it needs an icebreaker escort anyway
@@ignacioaguirrenoguez6218 yep. Add a propulsion and ice reinforced hull to sail through the Arctics and you essentially get a 40 years old Arktika I icebreaker that Russia is currently phasing out. It would be a mediocre icebreaker that still would be better in navigating ships than standing moored at a port, and at the same time several fold more expensive and overcomplicated as a power plant.
Interesting and informative
Nice video.
Too all of you people mentioning a accident waiting to happen or "Floating Chernobyl", The arctic region/Siberia is a quiet region with No Tsunamies and are in a stable geographic region and those things.
AND Remember, Russia has 36 reactors in operation by Rosatom(Росатом), 20 plants confirmed for "export"/building abroad, and they are leading developing new Nuclear technology. they are also building more new reactors and upgrading/expanding existing soviet-era plants which are outdated. (some 10 Chernobyl-like reactors are still operational in Russia(RBMK-1000 type)).
Russia is investing Heavily in Nuclear Power, which I believe is a good choise for bot the furure and enviroment (not the arctic drilling thing tho). they also manage to take care of their Nuclear waste
he just said in the video that there an incident of a radioactive leak in an ice-breaker ship.
please keep your nuclear power inland and away from the oceans where it can spread to the whole fucking world.
“They manage to take care of their nuclear waste”... how is this???

I'm actually cool with the idea of nuclear energy and assuming everyone manages to follow protocols its less than destructive than using crude oil. But chile we all know that its being used to do harmful and destructive use to drill oil and "developing" those remote cities is just a fancy way of saying setting up a refinery.
The problem is how we extract oil, if we can extract oil and use it without carbon emisions and shit.

Lmao
@@guycross493 well YES this is the plant for theese oilrigs
@@miguelmalvina5200 If you plan on combusting the oil you literally can't use it without creating emissions.
Do you know that oil is not only fuel? Fuel is only small portion of all the applications. Your pants are probably made out of the oil fractions, so is the asphalt for the roads and all plastics items. Oil will be drilled until it runs dry and no amount of electric cars or solar plants will change this.
great idea
Great video
I really miss that awesome introduction...pls put it back
whats really good about the ships, if they have them just 30 km from the coast, thats the entire exclusion zone for chernobyl, the ship can then be sunk where the water will protect people from radiation so if something was to go wrong no land would be lost and only a small few people would be exposed
It would irradiate the ocean though. I guess it is the better of to evils.
Pressurized water reactors are installed at Akademik Lomonosov, they are much safer than the Chernobyl-type reactors. These reactors also installed on the LASH carrier Sevmorput and icebreakers Taimyr and Vaygach, and have been sufficiently tested in operation for many years.
The plant need to be connected to the port infrastructure, there's no use of it 30 km offshore.

Canada needs floating nuclear power plants for the far north like Nunavut. I think Canadian government needs to develop and build them in time. It also produces no GHG emission which is suitable to both local energy needs and climate action plan introduced by the Liberal Party of Canada.
Coming from a coal dominated US state that tried but abandoned nuclear power projects, Ontario, Canada's energy grid would be an absolute dream for us. Our air quality is ass.
@@eriklakeland3857 Then start organizing and maybe one day your dream of a clean power grid could be a reality. Many of those coal miners could be retrained for the nuclear industry. It takes many people with many different skills to keep an NPP operating at it's best. But first you gotta organize with people and demand nuclear power. If enough people demand it then it'll be impossible to ignore.
what you also should have considered is that these platforms might be able to cross blue waters and be used statically to bolster alliances, by lending these reactors for a short time. Furthermore, I dont think these ships represent any big investment compared to a conventional nuclear power plant, since they are using well established technologies. Moreover, they also have the advantage of keeping the capabilities and workers / engineers needed for building mobile reactors (with dual use) and therefore not loosing the capability to produce nuclear powers ships in the future.
Very interesting video with wonderfull graphics but why remove the intro song "continent" ?
Finally some content please don't starve us for long
Me after reading the title:
Uh, becouse they can?
My thoughts exactly.
There is an element of that i assume. But the main reason is Russia has a lot of remote arctic villages that can't be easily accessed by land or air and these villages need more electricity. The problem is installing power lines to these villages would be costly, difficult and dangerous. So Russia is doing the comparatively easy thing by building these floating power plants that they can park right next to the village and hook them up.

The western world USA and its vassals are moving along with big oil projects and pumping billions of dollars in to the industry to save it from the low oil price and financial downturn. It appears you have been misinformed by in the media. Also western complaints about Chinese pollution is in reality a complete sham as much of it is from production moved from the west to China by western oligarchs to cut cost then shipped back to the west for consumption. This means this pollution is western despite it being outsourced to China or other low cost nations.
The warmer the planet, the more warmwater ports Russia has. Should we go back to the old way of killing people to obtain them? Oh wait, we did!
Sir, lovely video, but as a sailolr I need to make you aware of a major mistake. around 2.45 you say the ship needs to be towed because it doesn't have it's own propulsion. Which makes this a barge. Thank you, kind regards,

This is actually brilliant.
Society’s rejection of Nuclear power was a massive mistake, and the environment has payed dearly for it as we continue to rely on fossil fuels for our electricity
This is one we can almost entirely blame on the baby boomers and the "hell no we won't glow" morons.

Interesting video

I hope my country uses this in the future. The lack of a cheap efficient source of electricity that isn't dependent on the weather is a hindrance to us. Unfortunately our politicians seem to be fine with the status quo.
Fascinating.
3:02 How can some place be located at the north of the arctic circle?
The US built their first floating (and sometimes sinking) Nuclear Power Plant in 1955 with the USS Nautilus. The US has around 80 floating nuclear power plants at my rough count, with 11 nuclear floating aircraft carriers and about 70 nuclear submersible vessels.
The answer for the title: So that if it explodes it won't affect Russia..
