Russia Plans Floating Nuke Plant, Thousands of Fish Protest

It won’t be ready till 2010, but Russian nuclear energy company Rosenergoatom is planning to build a $200-million mobile plant to bring electricity to the hard-to-reach territories near the White Sea. The football-size barge will have two reactors and be launched/floated toward a port near the mainland where it’d be connected to power lines and bring electricity to potentially 200,000 people. Rosenergoatom, however, won’t comment on the type of safety measures they’d take into consideration. Our advice, stay away from Russian seafood in the next 20 or so years. -Louis Ramirez
