MH-1A

This is coolbert:

More Russian tooting their horn with pats on the back in an undeserved manner?

From TASS that article the Russian NPP goes online. Nuclear power plant floating.

"World’s first floating NPP starts mooring in Russia’s Chukotka"

"The floating NPP will generate electricity for Pevek, a town with a population of about 4,000, as well as nearby settlements and mining facilities"

"MOSCOW, September 14. /TASS/. The world’s first-ever floating nuclear power plant "Akademik Lomonosov," which arrived to Russia’s northeasternmost region of Chukotka earlier this week, started mooring at its operating site in the city of Pevek, a regional government spokesperson told TASS on Saturday."

NO! NOT THE FIRST FLOATING NUCLEAR POWER PLANT! FAR FROM IT!

From DECADES ago the U.S. Army floating nuclear barge MH-1A ready to go:

"MH-1A was the first floating nuclear power station . . . this pressurized water reactor built in a converted Liberty ship was part of a series of reactors in the US Army Nuclear Power Program, which aimed to develop small nuclear reactors to generate electrical and space-heating energy primarily at remote, relatively inaccessible sites"

As far as I know MH-1A only on-call, never was activated and sent to the scene of catastrophe or war. Army enlisted personnel nuclear power plant operators at the time [five decades ago] their variable-reenlistment-bonus the highest in the Army. MH-1A now deactivated and dismantled, no longer in existence.
