World’s only floating nuclear power plant gets ready to connect to Russian grid - Energy Bangla

World’s only floating nuclear power plant gets ready to connect to Russian grid - Energy Bangla: world’s only floating nuclear power plant (FNPP)-AkademikLomonosovis expected to start injecting electricity to Russia’s power grid next year, ushering a new era in global nuclear power industry.Built by Russia’s Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation Reactorof Unit-1 has successfully gone through the first stage of its power start-up , last week ( December10) in Murmansk of Russia. Power start-up is a series of functional and safety tests to be conducted on AkademikLomonosov’s reactors, before connection to the grid. At the first stage the reactor was tested at 1-10% of its capacity and at the final stage it will be tested at 110%. During each stage, various operation modes are tested in order to ensure thesafety of the power plant. “The floating nuclear power plant is an ideal solution forpower supplyto remote areas. We consider this project as a new product, which is of interest not only for the grid-isolated Russian Arctic regions, but also for a number of countries around the world.”said Alexey Likhachev, CEO of Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation. “Today we are demonstrating to our potential partnersreferential technologies in the field of small nuclear power reactors.
