Rosenergoatom: the city of Pevek has accepted the first loaded convoy for the construction of the worldХs only floating nuclear heat and power plant (FNHPP)
The Pevek port (the Chukotka Autonomous Region) has accepted the first convoy carrying materials and equipment for the one-of-a-kind floating nuclear heat and power plant (FNHPP) constructed in Russia.
Late next week, the motor vessels ТKonstantaУ and ТAnisimovУ delivered construction equipment and over 6 thousand tons of steel works to the city. The team has unloaded 68 anchor logs with the diameter of over 1 meter, up to 8 meters long, and with the total weight of over 270 tons.
Using those materials and equipment, the staff can start working on the construction site in accordance with the schedule, that said, on September 26th, once both vessels are unloaded.
The third vessel, ТTsygankovУ, is ready for departure from Arkhangelsk to Pevek with an additional set of construction materials.
The floating power block named after Lomonosov and constructed pursuant to the 20870 project is designed to operate as a part of the floating nuclear and heat power plant (FNHPP). The latter is equipped with KLT-40C reactor units that can produce up to 70 megawatts of electric power and up to 50 Gcal/hr of heat power during its normal operation, which is enough to support a city with over 200 thousand dwellers.
The floating power block can be operated in the Far North and the Far East. The main floating power block named after Lomonosov is being constructed for the floating nuclear and heat power plant in the city of Pevek located in the Chukotka Autonomous Region. This power block is the worldХs first project for a mobile transportable low-capacity power block. Its main goal is to supply power to major manufacturing companies, port cities, and the offshore oil and gas platforms.
The floating power block with the displacement capacity of 21.5 thousand tons can be used as a water distiller producing up to 240 thousand cubic meters of water daily. Its designed life span is 35-40 years. The reactors can be re-charged every 2.5-3 years. The power block can be handled by a team of around 70 people.
The FNHPP is conservatively loaded, with its safety margin exceeding any possible threats and making the nuclear reactors invulnerable to tsunamis and other natural disasters. Besides, the nuclear processes at the vessels comply with all IAEA standards and do not pose any danger to the environment.
The Rosenergoatom Concern OJSC comprises all 10 nuclear power plants in Russia bearing the Concern affiliate status, as well as the enterprises catering for the generating companyХs operations. In total 34 power blocks are in operation on 10 nuclear power plants (excluding the 4th block of the Beloyarsk NPP (BN-800) and the 6th block of the Novovoronezh NPP which are at the stage of trial operation at the moment): 18 - with VVER-type reactors (including 12 power blocks with VVER-1000 and 6 power blocks with VVER-440 of different versions); 15 Р with channel reactors (11 power blocks with RBMK-type reactors, 4 power blocks with EGP-6 reactors); 1 power block with a sodium-cooled fast reactor (BN-600). The total installed capacity of all power blocks is 26.24 GW.
At the moment, the Rosenergoatom NPPs account for 18.6% of the whole electricity output in the country.

The floating power block has been undergoing basin trials since July 2016 to verify its working capacity and compliance with the project equipment and systemsХ parameters. The basin trials are planned to be completed by late October 2017.
Afterwards, the FNHPP ТLomonosovУ will be fully finalized, dispatched to its operation point via the Northern Sea Route, and connected to the coastal utilities constructed in the Pevek port. The power block should be ready for transportation by late 2017. Rosenergoatom is planning to start its installation at the designed sport in September 2019, which is to be followed by FNHPPХs trials and operational launch.
