Russia constructed the world’s first floating nuclear power station.

Here are the key points in a simple and concise manner:

In 2020 Russia put into operation the Akademik Lomonosov, a floating nuclear power unit.

It is functioning now in the Arctic region supplying power to an uninhabited town located near the Bering Strait in the USA.
