Russia's Floating Nuclear Plants Under Fire From Greens
slashdotmsiriv writes with a link to an International Business Times article about Russia's plan to build floating nuclear power plants (a subject we discussed some time ago). The project is getting a lot of flack over possible safety problems from green groups. "The first floating power plant will be named 'Academician Lomonosov.' Mikhail Lomonosov was an 18th- century Russian scientist who achieved worldwide acclaim for his work in chemistry and physics and was founder of Moscow's state university. Customers could include Russian state-controlled gas giant Gazprom, the northern region of Chukotka and countries from Namibia to Indonesia, according to industry sources."
In Soviet Russia, greens are under fire!
How can they be against it? It's an idea that floats.

I wonder if I use bold in my signature, people will notice my posts.
It's a large ocean, and you easily disperse little nucular leaks and wash away mistakes and neglect. Perfect, just what they need. And the quest to poison our planet continues....
