Soviet Atomic Flagship

2014/02/21


Shared by one of our readers, Steve, this is a video from the era when Soviet documentaries were still translated into foreign languages. This particular one tells a story of an atomic icebraker that could sustain people deep into the polar ices without any need in external source of heat or fuel, which was really a groundbraking technology at the time and is still pretty cool even now.


There is one more documentary on atomic power in Soviet Russia as a bonus inside:






It tells the story of the Beloyarsk Atomic plant, which is said to be second power atomic plant to be built in Russia. By the way worlds first one is from Russia too (as per Wikipedia).


The documentary tells the story of its construction and day to day operation routines.
