Will compete with the Russian Federation: a floating nuclear station in the United States will generate 175 GWh*h per year

It is expected that a floating nuclear power plant will provide energy with American ports and reduce carbon emissions. Core Power has attracted Glosten, engaged in maritime architecture and marine, to assist in the promotion of a floating nuclear power plant (FNPP) to provide electricity of ports in the US. About it writes Interesting Engineering. According to a press release, a floating nuclear power plant will produce about 175 GW*h of clean electricity per year.

This will allow the US ports to achieve zero carbon emissions during electricity production for ships, terminal cranes and equipment, as well as port vehicles. The Core Power project includes a nuclear power plant on barge, barge support services and power grids. Glosten was instructed to develop a concept of operation and design a floating installation for a power plant.

Companies will also work closely in carrying out risks and development of general provisions for barge, which will place nuclear reactors. "Nuclear division is a well -studied and practiced process. It enables us safe, reliably and at the request of access to a huge energy resource without greenhouse gas emissions," said Core Power CEO Mikal Be.

According to the publication, this year Russia announced that its floating nuclear power plant called "Academician Lomonosov" produced the first billion kilowatt-hour of electricity. The Russian State Corporation on Rosatom also reported that the FNPP, which has worked for more than five years, also completed its first fuel cycle.
