Abstract

Over four years of operation, the world^s only floating nuclear power plant Akademik Lomonosov generated more than 860 million kWh of electricity. Moreover, every year the share of carbon-neutral electricity from floating nuclear power plants in the overall energy balance of the region is growing steadily. For the entire 2023, the operation of the floating nuclear power plant made it possible to generate 28.5% of all electricity produced in Chukotka.
In the future, after 2025, when the Bilibino NPP is shut down and the restoration of the floating nuclear power plant is completed, the station load will reach peak values and approach the maximum power of 70 MW, which will have a positive impact on reducing power tariffs.
The purpose of the report is to familiarize students with the experience of operating the world^s only floating nuclear power plant Akademik Lomonosov.
