Floating Nuclear Plants and Climate Crisis: a New Energy Gamble in the Russian Arctic Russia plans to supply power to the infrastructure of the Baimsky Mining and Processing Plant using several floating nuclear power plants. Even land-based nuclear facilities carry risks and vulnerabilities that are exacerbated by the climate crisis. Floating plants introduce additional points of failure. How sensible is it to deploy new floating nuclear stations in a rapidly changing Arctic climate?

Key Stakeholders of the Russian Arctic Who really makes the decisions about the region’s development? This project helps uncover who shapes Russia’s Arctic agenda today — and makes regional decision-making more transparent and easier to understand.

Floating nuclear power plants, climate crisis and a new energy adventure in the Russian Arctic Russia plans to power the infrastructure of the Baimsky mining and processing plant through several small floating nuclear power plants. Even land-based nuclear power plants carry risks and vulnerabilities, which are only intensified by the climate crisis. And floating stations may face additional problems.
