World’s First Floating Nuclear Power Plant Nearing Completion

Description

Construction of the the Akademik Lomonosov, a huge watercraft which will become the world’s first floating nuclear power plant, is nearing completion at the Baltic Shipyard in St. Petersburg, Russia. The Akademik Lomonosov is designed to sail to areas on Russia's northern coast which are difficult to reach by land but still need power. It will replace an old nuclear station called Bilibino in Russia's remote Chukotka region.

Typhoon Turbines' Could Power the Entire World After a Single Storm

Storms frequently hit the island nation of Japan, but one entrepreneur may have found a way to harness the power of nature with his new invention, the 'typhoon turbine'. The inventor of what might be the world's first 'typhoon turbine' says the device can harness the power of storms to supply Japan with boundless amounts of green energy. The team behind the egg-beater-shaped turbines are testing out their prototype machine on Japan's Okinawa island. The country experiences numerous storms, recording an estimated six typhoons so far this year.

Fukushima Nuclear Plant’s Defences Hold Following 1 Yard High Tsunami

Footage courtesy of Japanese TV broadcaster NHK shows aerial views of Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Plant, after a 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of north-eastern Japan causing a tsunami, on Tuesday morning. A wave reportedly about one yard high hit Fukushima’s coast, temporarily causing the water system used to cool fuel rods in the Number 3 reactor to stop. The incident raised concerns over the nuclear power plant, but despite causing a temporary halt to a cooling water pump, the problem was shortly resolved and no further issues have been reported. The power plant was devastated by a tsunami caused by an earthquake in 2011.
