China built a floating nuclear reactor that powers deep-sea mining and Arctic research stations
Off the coast of Bohai Bay, China has completed testing a fully operational floating nuclear reactor — a compact power station mounted on a marine platform, designed to bring clean, stable electricity to the most remote and extreme environments on Earth. This isn’t science fiction — it’s an ocean-going reactor.
The platform carries a miniature pressurized water reactor, similar in safety systems to those used in submarines but with triple-redundant containment and automatic shutdown protocols. It generates up to 60 megawatts of power — enough to run a small city or a high-tech Arctic base.
Because it floats, the system can be deployed anywhere — from deep-sea mining operations to research outposts in the polar regions. It’s completely sealed, designed to resist typhoons, earthquakes, and even collisions. The onboard desalination system produces fresh water from seawater for local needs, and the platform can operate autonomously for years.
This offers an unprecedented way to decarbonize heavy operations like oil drilling, rare-earth extraction, or polar science, where diesel generators dominate. And unlike solar or wind, this power runs 24/7, no matter the weather.
Critics warn about the risk of floating reactors in conflict zones or high-traffic waters, but engineers argue that its safety systems are more advanced than any land-based reactor.
It’s not just mobile energy. It’s the future of off-grid civilization.
