Wow a barge with 2 underpowered soviet era reactors only 9 years behind schedule and at 1/5 the reactor power of an American aircraft carrier, they sure are winning the race ...
You know, you are like a small child ... So that you will not be told, you have one answer: - You are a fool!
These are reactors of LOW POWER.What for there more energy if there is no one to consume it? To melt of the ice of the North Pole? To boil the Arctic Ocean?
Information on the state of the world reactor industry:
1. Russia takes the first place by a large margin.
Russia is building 6 reactor units for its nuclear power plants, plus 10 reactor units for nuclear power plants abroad.
Plus now Russia is building 10 nuclear submarines (5 PR. 885, 955 4 St., 1st Ave. 09851), it is 10-11 pieces of reactor units (at the PR. 885 & 955 1 reactor, the "Khabarovsk", may 2).
Plus for "Belgorod" and "Khabarovsk" built pieces 6 fusion megatube (Autonomous submarines with a nuclear power plant) "Poseidon" (Status-6), even 6 reactors.
Plus for new nuclear icebreakers "Sibir" and "Ural" is a 4 reactor (in "the Arctic" the reactor unit is completely ready to work in may of loaded nuclear fuel).
In addition, an experimental demonstration reactor BREST-OD-300 is being built in the city of Seversk.
Total in Russia now is built around 38 reactor units.
Plus, Rosatom has contracts and agreements for the construction of 26 more reactor units for nuclear power plants abroad and at least 13 reactor units for Russian NPP - Kola NPP-2 (1 unit), Smolensk NPP-2 (2 units), Nizhny Novgorod NPP (2 units), Central NPP (4 units), Kursk NPP-2 (2 units), Leningrad NPP-2 (2 units).
That is, in the future, Russia will start the construction of 38-39 more reactor blocks for nuclear power plants and 15 more for icebreakers, destroyers, submarines, etc., up to 55 reactors in total. In 5-10 years Russia will only strengthen its leadership. Steep
Roll up
...
2. China comes second.
There, CNNC, DEC, HSNPC companies are building 10 reactor blocks for their nuclear power plants, 2 reactors for Pakistan's nuclear power plants, 1 experimental reactor (CFR-600, in cooperation with Rosatom), and 4 nuclear submarines are being built (2 PCs. Type 096 and 2 PCs. Type 095, 1 reactor each).
In total, China is currently building about 17 reactor blocks.
...
3. In third place USA.
There 2 reactor units for their nuclear power plants are being built, as well as 1 aircraft carrier John F. Kennedy CVN-79 (2 reactors) and 5 Virginia submarines (1 reactor each) are being built.
In total, the US is now building about 9 reactor blocks. 4 times less than in Russia and 2 times less than in China.
...
4. India is in fourth place.
There company of NPCIL under construction 5 reactor units for nuclear power plants and to build 3 nuclear submarine Arihant (1 for each reactor).
In total, about 8 reactor blocks are being built in India.
...
5. South Korea is in fifth place.
There, DHIC/KOPEC/CE and KEPCO are building 4 reactor units for their nuclear power plants and 4 reactors for nuclear power plants in the UAE.
In total, about 8 reactor blocks are being built in South Korea.
...
6. France is in sixth place.
There AREVA is building 1 reactor unit for nuclear power plants in France, 3 reactor units abroad, 3 Suffren nuclear submarines.
In total, about 7 reactor blocks are being built in France.
...
7. In seventh place in the UK.
There, 1 reactor unit for nuclear power plants and 3 astute nuclear submarines are being built.
In total, about 4 reactor blocks are being built in the UK.
In total, about 97 reactor plants (55 for nuclear power plants) are being built in the world, taking into account reactors for submarines, icebreakers and aircraft carriers.
38 of them are in Russia.
40% of all reactor blocks in the world are built in Russia! Steep
In second place China with 17%.
By the way, Russia also ranks first by a large margin in the production of enriched uranium.
The Russian Federation produces about 28,663 thousand SWU of enriched uranium per year, which is 45% of world production. Steep
For comparison, China produces 7520 thousand SWU (12%), France - 7500 thousand SWU, USA - only 4700 thousand SWU (and even then, the only plant in the US for uranium enrichment belongs to the European Corporation URENCO), Japan - 75 thousand SWU.
Those floating reactors are going to be a high demand item. They can bring heavy industry to places that it's just not practical today. There's so many things good about them it far outweighs the bad. Industry in Antarctica, cities in Antarctica.

It's a huge step forward.
Antarctica is not going to be colonized, however with trump and his tendencies to abandon treaties I guess anything can happen.
You are some kind of irrepressible.. If it is better for you, I will say: Yes, maybe Russia is supplying weapons to the Donbass (I saying maybe, because, unfortunately, to me do not reporton this). Do not be naive, all do so in cases of protection of some geopolitical interests. Russia in this case is not the first and not the last. Exactly the same situation was in Afghanistan when the USSR fought there. The United States did not directly participate in the conflict. But among the Mujahideen, stingers and american weapons and modern means of communication and medicines with a stamp "made in USA" appeared from somewhere. And the American military advisers were there. And do not make yourself "white and fluffy." I think you are well aware of this.
Of course Russian army is involved covertly and unofficially so. Why wouldn't it be, since Americans are all over the place in Ukraine?
I mean for example the investigation of Zakhar(chenko) assassination is practically over by now.
The names are named, the ranks, the addresses, and as it has been expected, these are all the Ukrainian SBU people, as much as Ukrainians were trying to cover it all up, pretending that it was some "internal struggle" within the DNR, or "hand of Moscow."
And of course as it has been indicated from the very beginning, (judging by the sophistication of equipment,) Americans were involved in the preparation of this crime.
Same people/same group that assassinated Motorola.
Are they going to be caught by their hand?
Very unlikely.
And so are the Russian army soldiers.
The whole situation in Ukraine is a proxy war between Russia and the US - that's what it's all about.

Ukraine wanting to join Europe had nothing at all to do with the US, but certainly we have reasons for supporting this choice.
Its worth exploring the main reasons Russia/pro Russians present this as a war between them and the US:
1) They cannot acknowledge the EU association as the real political will of Ukrainians (as this means there is a superior alternative for Russians as well)
2) Outside of 2 battles where the Russian army attacked from the rear, the war was at best a draw for the Russian led DNR armies. Certainly territory exchanged on both sides and the body count is roughly equal. The lack of victory promised to the residents of Donetsk is presented as only because of American tactical support.
3) The continued stabilization of Ukraine since 2015 conflicts with the Russian narrative. The fiction about the imminent collapse, the decline, the turmoil etc is harder to sell now that Ukraine's economy has recovered from the shock and Russia's economy seems stuck. The best way to explain this phenomenon that Ukraine is doing better by trading with Europe is to present the Americans as secretly funneling billions to the Ukrainian budget. Wages in Ukraine are significantly higher than the wages in Russian controlled areas and this is affecting public perceptions. The highest wages used to be in Donetsk and now they are in Kyiv and Lviv... this isn't something easily hidden.

Utter bullcrap. The fighting in 2014 and 2015 resulted in a defeat in detail of any armed force that so much as stuck a hair in the air. The Ukrops couldn't even read freaking maps. They ran around in columns of armored vehicles lost on roads they were unfamiliar with (because they're from the east right? LMAO!!) watched by rebels until they stopped or were ambushed and forced into nice little packets to be torn to shreds by artillery and GRADs. In that situation they should have known that if you're moving unopposed you might want to wonder why. Don't expect a bunch of drunk punks to think though. It was an asskicking of epic proportions every time they tried. Make no doubt about it.
The only reason the Ukrops didn't get kicked all the way to KIev was because the rebels didn't have the men or material to do it. If Russia had been there in any meaningful way that would have come to be, make no doubt about it.

Nor is it something easily verified. I do know however of a man who had a mother in Kiev. She was forced to move back to her home village because she could not survive in Kiev. There was no way he could afford a place for her to live there even as an American citizen. So he bought a house for her. I'm sure some are doing quite well, that's safe to say. It's also safe to say others are barely making it.
We'll have another success story in eastern Europe when 20% of the population moves to Europe to clean toilets and the old and feeble die off. Like Porkochunko said, it'll take 20 years for the situation to sort itself out. Go figure.
