High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Floating nuclear power stations (Russian: плавучая атомная теплоэлектростанция малой мощности, АТЭС ММ - lit. floating combined heat and power low-power nuclear station) are vessels projected by Rosatom that present self-contained, low-capacity, floating nuclear power plants. The stations are to be mass-built at shipbuilding facilities and then towed to the destination point in coastal waters near a city, a town or an industrial enterprise. Although the world`s first floating nuclear power station was MH-1A built in the 1960s, the Rosatom project represents the first mass production of that kind of vessel. By 2015, at least seven of the vessels are supposed to be built.
