World’s only floating nuclear power plant passes global safety audit in Russia

An international 13-member team completed a two-week safety audit of Russia’s Akademik Lomonosov floating nuclear power plant in Pevek.

Inspectors reviewed operations, maintenance, emergency preparedness, and other technical areas, finding improvements versus the 2022 review.

The plant was judged comparable to Russia’s top nuclear stations, supporting confidence in its safety and reliability.

Akademik Lomonosov, powered by two KLT-40S reactors, provides electricity and heat to remote Arctic communities.
