Russia began construction Sunday of its first floating nuclear power plant and said it intends to build at least six others, some of which could be sold to other countries, Russian news agencies reported.
Environmental organizations have long criticized Russia's plans to build such plants, saying they are vulnerable to accidents on the high seas. But Russia has pushed forward with the program, justifying
it as a way of bringing power to some of the country's most remote areas and saying that the plants will be safe. (AP)
