Loaded with nuclear fuel, the Akademik Lomonosov, dubbed 'Chernobyl on ice', left the Arctic port of Murmansk today to begin its 3,000-mile voyage to Pevek in northeastern Siberia. The world's first floating nuclear reactor (pictured during its launch today and inside the vessel, left inset), it is designed to be a simpler alternative to building a conventional plant on ground that is frozen all year round. State nuclear agency Rosatom intends to sell similar reactors abroad. But environmental groups have long warned of the dangers of the project, dubbing it a potential 'nuclear Titanic'. It is also pictured (right inset) being towed to St Petersburg last year ahead of the reactor's construction before being loaded with fuel.
