Russia Builds First Floating Nuclear Plant - June 2011

Hurricane Earl... and Floating Nuclear Power Plants
But David Lochbaum, senior safety engineer at Washington-based Union of Concerned Scientists-and nuclear experts in Europe including Russia-are highly critical. Lochbaum describes an accident at a floating nuclear power plant as "worse" than at a land-based one. "In a meltdown, a China syndrome accident, the molten mass of what had been the core would burrow into the ground and some of the radioactive material held there. But with a floating nuclear plant, all the molten mass would drop into the water and there would be a steam explosion and the release of a tremendous amount of energy and radioactive material," he explains. "It would be like a bomb going off." A large plume of radioactive poisons would form and "many more people would be put in harm's way," says Mr. Lochbaum, for 18 years an engineer in the nuclear industry and an instructor for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

What do u call CVN/ super carrier of USN??
Floating city with it's own nuclear power plant.
So many of nuclear subs are in our oceans
, some are lost.

very true, we do have lost submarines, also ones with active nuclear warheads still equipped on them.

Scary thought... :nails:

I wish we'd stop picking the nuclear option because it's cost effective... because in terms of safety, it's not the best option... I'd rather have an ungodly amount of expensive and inefficient wind turbines covering the landscape that won't make my hair, teeth and skin drop off, personally... :vomit:

Maybe it would be ok when we had the tech to laser any effected area out of the ground and could antigrav it up and out to throw it at the sun but why would you need nuclear energy then.
