Floating Nuclear Power Station

angrysponge writes " Russia to Build World's First Floating Nuclear Power Station for $200,000. I don't know what impresses me more, the engineering chutzpah or low-ball pricetag." From the article: "The mini-station will be located in the White Sea, off the coast of the town of Severodvinsk (in the Arkhangelsk region in northern Russia). It will be moored near the Sevmash plant, which is the main facility of the State Nuclear Shipbuilding Center. The FNPP will be equipped with two power units using KLT-40S reactors. The plant will meet all of Sevmash's energy requirements for just 5 or 6 cents per kilowatt. If necessary, the plant will also be able to supply heat and desalinate seawater."

Two-hundred thousand?

So why not throw in $30,000 more and upgrade to some hardwood floors :)

Better Games Are the Answer

Well, this floating nuclear Playstation may have better graphics and may be more ergonomic, but it's not going to make the games any better...

This is off-topic, but you seem to have been in the Navy. I just signed my NF contract and I ship out in February. Any words of wisdom? I've already gotten everything from "You're going to commit suicide in A School" to "It's an easy road to officer-hood." I'm really interested in anything anyone has to say about it.
