Millions?
Is it correct English to say 336 millions wouldn't "million" be more correct? I know that's how I would say it in Canada.--TecTec 00:49, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

It's archaic but allowed Furius 04:29, 20 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Talk about a money maker! 336 million for 70MW for 40ish years! Thats about 1 cent per kilowatt hour.--Dacium 04:36, 20 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Only if you ignore the costs for the crew, maintenance, mining and refining the nuclear fuel, processing and storing of the waste products... DevSolar 06:03, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

336 million $ / 70 MW = 4,600 $/kW installed generation. New nuclear plants are expected to cost about 1,200 $/kW installed power. If you think the costs of crew, maintenance, and fuel cycle costs are huge, you should see the interest you have to pay on millions of dollars investment over 40 years. Nonetheless, for a small electric generation station it could be fairly competitive. theanphibian 21:46, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

I have seen estimates for new plants from $1 to $3/watt. This floating reactors could be built to inventory so one might have immediate delivery, or at least a more predictable delivery time that custom built. Decommissioning by towing away. Loaner plants in case of major breakdown. The concept could work. Paul Studier 07:07, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Dead links
The Mosnews links seem dead and hijacked? Anyways, I think there could be a market for this ship for desalination and watercleaning process of polluted waters. RGDS Alexmcfire

Akademik Lomonosov
I propose to de-merge this article and to move information about Akademik Lomonosov into a new article.Beagel (talk) 18:00, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Akademik Lomonosov is split; articles updated. Beagel (talk) 09:18, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Should be updated?
This set of photos purportedly shows the launch of the vessel, but the accompanying text says that it will not be commissioned until late 201.

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:


 * http://www.power-technology.com/projects/akademik-lomonosov-nuclear-co-generation-russia/
 * Triggered by  on the local blacklist

If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

✅ This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.— cyberbot II NotifyOnline 21:14, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Bad ISBN
Because it is causing a Checkwiki error #72: "ISBN-10 with wrong checksum", I removed the ISBN from the entry:

ISBN 5-901894-14-0 [1], third English language edition available online.

I have tried unsuccessfully to locate the correct ISBN on the Internet. The online version does not include an ISBN. Knife-in-the-drawer (talk) 15:40, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

What about a general article?
The link floating nuclear power plant redirects to this article, which is specific to a Russian design. However, many other examples of floating nuclear power plants exist, like the MH-1A and the upcoming Chinese plants (see ). I propose we split the general information into Floating nuclear power plant as a general article about the concept, leaving this article to deal with the specific example of the Russian projects. --Ita140188 (talk) 06:33, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
