The WSJ has another story on Russia's floating nuclear power plants. You can read it if you go in through Google News.

Russia Floats Plan For Nuclear Plant Aboard a Boat

Among the initiatives: At a top-secret shipyard in the country's far north, Russia's state-run atomic energy company is overseeing construction on the first of what it says will be a fleet of reactor-equipped ships. The vessels are meant to provide electricity to remote areas, mooring just offshore and supplying enough power to run a small city. Russian officials say the floating plants have generated strong interest among foreign customers.
