Limited-draft icebreakers, like Taymyr, provide escort for con- voys in shallow waters� In this case, the convoys have to be transferred from an open-sea icebreaker to a shal- low-draft icebreaker and the other way around, which results in that the convoy and the icebreakers have to FUTURE PRospects spend the time standing, and it has a negative effect upon the economic efficiency of cargo transportation� In addition to that, practically all the currently operating nuclear icebreakers powered by the OK-900A reac- tor plants are nearing the end of their service life� In order to ensure the timely and adequate replacement Russia is the only country in the world that has a civilian nuclear maritime fleet� Nuclear-powered icebreakers for the decommissioned icebreakers, construction of

First, it conducts a survey of past and present Northern Sea Route (NSR) cargo flows. Then follow discussions of the route’s commercial potential as a transit route, as well as of its economic importance and relevance for each of the Russian Arctic regions. These discussions are summarized by estimates of what types and volumes of NSR cargoes that can realistically be expected in the period 2000-2015. This is then followed by a survey of the status quo of the NSR infrastructure (above all the ice-breakers, ice-class cargo vessels and ports), with estimates of its future capacity. Based on the estimated future NSR cargo potential, future NSR infrastructure requirements are calculated and compared with the estimated capacity in order to identify the main, future infrastructure bottlenecks for NSR operations. The information presented in the report is mainly compiled from data and research results that were published through the International Northern Sea Route Programme (INSROP) 1993-99, but considerable updates have been made using recent information, statistics and analyses from various sources.

As the Arctic’s strategic position has become increasingly prominent, China’s existing icebreaker fleet has been unable to meet the growing demand for polar affairs such as polar scientific research, Arctic shipping, and polar emergency. From the perspective of route planning, the marine environmental conditions faced by nuclear- powered icebreakers have been sorted out. The research status of domestic nuclear power plant, the selection and design of nuclear power propulsion plant and the main technical requirements were put forward. Finally, the overall plan design was carried out from the aspects of general layout, main dimensions, shaft power,

Russia is also finishing a new icebreaker and is planning to build additional nuclear ships within the next 10–15 years. Nuclear icebreaker reactors are fueled with highly-enriched ura- nium (HEU), which has to be reliably protected against theft and diversion. NORTHERN SEA ROUTE Soviet nuclear icebreaker technology was a spinoff of the nuclear submarine program. It was a useful demonstration of the civilian benefits of nuclear propul- sion. It also was seen as an important element of the national strategy to develop Russia’s Arctic regions, a vast stretch of land rich in natural resources. Historically, the development of the Russian Arctic has been closely linked to the development of the Northern Sea Route (in Russian, Severny Morskoi Put’ or Sevmorput’), which was established by the Soviet Union in the 1930s. The route connects Russia’s Atlantic and Pacific ports and has been in regular use since World War II. It is open for navigation from June to November and relies on extensive infrastructure, including the fleet of icebreakers and ice- class cargo ships, aerial reconnaissance, meteorological stations, navigational aids, and port facilities.

Total is a major energy giant based in France, while Mitsubishi of Japan, Kogas increase its stake to 15% if Novatek reduces of South Korea, Nuovo of Italy and Saudi Arabia have also been in talks with its participation interest below 60%.” Novatek. End OE Watch Commentary (Grau) Source: “Novatek closes sale of 10% stake in Arctic LNG 2 to Total,” Interfax, 7 March 2019. https://www.interfax.com The Arctic LNG 2 project involves building three LNG trains at 6.6 million tons per annum each, using gravity-based structure (GBS) platforms. [An “LNG train” is a liquefied natural gas plant’s liquefaction and purification facility. In order to transport LNG from one country to another, its volume has to be dramatically reduced. To do this, the gas must be liquefied by refrigeration to less than -161 °C. This refrigeration process is conducted in multiple units arranged sequentially-like a train.] The project is based on the hydrocarbon resources of the Utrennoye field on the Gydan Peninsula. The final investment decision on the project is expected to be made in the second half of 2019, and production at the first train of the plant is scheduled to start in 2023.

  • Russian Arctic Nuclear Development
    Russia’s plans for Arctic development depend on marine nuclear power Peter Lobner 30 October 2019 1 Rational for marine nuclear power in the Arctic Vessel propulsion was the first Arctic application of marine nuclear power, offering the following useful attributes: Very powerful propulsion plants enable expanded mission capabilities. Without the need for a propulsion air supply, under ice operations became practical. Operations are not restricted by a need to refuel frequently. Long-duration missions can be conducted without support. Non-propulsion applications of marine nuclear power include delivery of electric power, process heat and/or desalinated water to towns, facilities and systems in remote Arctic coastal regions and to off- shore facilities and systems sited on above-water platforms or on the seabed. A large power source is needed to support remote towns and development and operation of large-scale industrial and military facilities and systems. Can minimize the amount of on-shore development needed before power delivery can start from a transportable power plant. Can meet high power demands in the hostile marine environments of Arctic off-shore platforms and the Arctic seabed. Can meet Arctic Council requirements for low carbon emissions in the Arctic. 2 Orientation to the Arctic region 3 Arctic boundary As defined by the US Arctic Research and Policy Act US Arctic Research Commission map, rotated 180 degrees, based on the US Arctic Research and Policy Act of 1984 (Amended 1990).
