Critics are calling it a “floating Chernobyl.”
It’s designed to provide power to isolated Artic villages that go along with Russia’s goal to expand and take advantage of strategic items.
The Russian-built Akademik Lomonosov was issued a 10-year operating license in June and is slated to be towed to its final destination – the small Arctic port of Pevek in the remote Chukotka Region. There it will begin supplying heat and electricity to local consumers before year’s end.
