But it will not have a propulsion system so will have to be towed to the location where it is needed, according to global news service, <a href=\"http:\/\/rt.com\/news\/floating-nuclear-plant-russia-759\/\" target=\"_blank\">RT<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It will have two modified KLT-40 reactors that will be able to provide enough energy for a city with 200,000 people.<\/p>\n<p>The floating power plants will be able to be modified and be used as a desalination plant. This means that the ship could produce a staggering 240,000 cubic metres of fresh water every day.<\/p>\n<p>The ship builder insists that the process of fuel enrichment on the floating power station complies with the International Atomic Energy Agency&#8217;s regulations.<\/p>\n<p>The firm claims that its floating power station is safe for the environment as it does not release any hazardous substances while it is operating.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russia will begin to operate the world&#8217;s first floating nuclear power plant in just three&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":22813,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[221,224,149,137],"tags":[13843],"class_list":["post-22815","post","type-post","status-publish","format-image","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-editors-choice","category-news","category-russia","category-world","tag-russia","post_format-post-format-image"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive2.ankakh.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22815","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive2.ankakh.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive2.ankakh.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive2.ankakh.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive2.ankakh.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=22815"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/archive2.ankakh.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22815\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive2.ankakh.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/22813"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive2.ankakh.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=22815"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive2.ankakh.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=22815"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive2.ankakh.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=22815"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
