- Russia has launched the world’s first floating nuclear reactor, the Akademik Lomonosov.
- It is on a 5,000 km journey between port of Murmansk and Pevek in Siberia.
- When it arrives in Pevek, it will ‘replace’ a local nuclear plant and a closed coal power plant.
- Power produced from the plant will be used by Russia in the exploitation of hydrocarbons in the Arctic.
- Environmental groups have long warned of the dangers of the project, dubbing it a potential "Chernobyl on ice" and a "nuclear Titanic."
