Russia's floating nuclear plant heads out to sea

I wonder if any Greenpeace groups are going to travel to Russia to protest the use of the floating nuclear plant? If any environmental group does it might be prudent
to read about what happened last time a Greenpeace group protested something in Russia.

MH-1A was the first floating nuclear power station. Named Sturgis after General Samuel D. Sturgis, Jr., this pressurized water reactor built in a converted Liberty ship was part of a series of reactors in the US Army Nuclear Power Program, which aimed to develop small nuclear reactors to generate electrical and space-heating energy primarily at remote, relatively inaccessible sites.[1] Its designation stood for mobile, high power. After its first criticality in 1967, MH-1A was towed to the Panama Canal Zone that it supplied with 10 MW of electricity from October 1968 to 1975. Its dismantling was started in 2014 and it is anticipated to be completed in under four years.

MH-1A was the first floating nuclear power station.

The Soviet icebreaker Lenin was the world's first nuclear-powered
surface vessel in 1959. The USS Enterprise was the Navy's first
nuclear powered aircraft carrier in 1961. The USS Enterprise
generates enough electricity to power a small city.

You're funny- you need to know the difference between "nuclear power STATION and nuclear POWERED ship"

Also, look at this

USS Nautilus (SSN-571) was the world's first operational nuclear-powered submarine. The vessel was the first submarine to complete a submerged transit of the North Pole on 3rd August 1958.
Sharing names with Captain Nemo's fictional submarine in Jules Verne's classic 1870 science fiction novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and named after another USS Nautilus (SS-168) that served with distinction in World War II, the new atomic powered Nautilus was authorized in 1951, with laying down for construction in 1952 and launched in January 1954, attended by Mamie Eisenhower, First Lady of the United States, wife of 34th President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and commissioned the following September into the United States Navy. Final construction was completed in 1955.

You're funny- you need to know the difference between "nuclear power STATION
and nuclear POWERED ship"

 

Aircraft carriers are nuclear power stations with an airport mounted on top.
U.S.S. Carl Vinson can make some 400,000 gallons of its own fresh water
every day. It was stationed off the coast of Haiti so that it could provide
fresh water to Haiti after the Storms there. Very little was in the news
about this because it wouldn't fit the narrative that Trump hates black
people.

The USS Gerald Ford aircraft carrier is powered by two Bechtel A1B
nuclear reactors, each capable of producing 300 megawatts of electricity
for a total of 600 MW of electricity.

MH-1A as you said was the first floating nuclear power station. It produced
10 MW of electricity and the Akademik Lomonosov floating nuclear co-
generation plant is a 70 MW plant.

The USS Gerald Ford generates almost 9 times more electricity.
