The reactors are the ones used on ice breakers, so it's not as crazy as it sounds.

I'm sure they're not complete fools. But it's a very strange solution. |

At least the Russians have a great track record with nuclear power. What could possibly happen? |

Their naval vessels seem to have a very dubious safety record, so it will be "interesting" to see how this plays out. |
