The Akademik Lomonosov floating nuclear power plant is the lead project for a series of low-power mobile transportable power units. It is designed to operate as part of a floating nuclear power plant (FNPP) in the Far North and the Far East and is a new class of energy sources based on Russian nuclear shipbuilding technologies. The FNPP is designed with a large margin of safety to counter external threats. The station is equipped with two KLT-40S icebreaker-type reactors that are capable of generating up to 70 MW of electricity and 50 Gcal/h of thermal energy in the nominal operating mode, which is enough to ensure energy consumption in a city with a population of about 100 000 people.
The population of Inuvik is only 4,000 so maybe start with just one reactor. Imagine another couple of these in Hudson and James Bay, this would bring our Native peoples standard of living up to where it should be. Its the least we can do. Cost is estimated at $500 USD for two reactors.
