A protection system is provided for protecting a nuclear reactor positioned on a barge which is floating in the water of a tank. The system also includes suspension systems which permits the barge to move downwardly in the tank upon an aircraft, missile strike or earthquake to reduce the impact force of the strike. Each of the suspension systems includes a slack upper chain member, a taut intermediate chain member and a slack lower chain member. A padding material is positioned at the inner sides of the tank. Padding material may be placed of the ends and sides of the barge.

A floating nuclear power reactor including one or two nuclear power reactors positioned in a floating vessel such as a barge or the like. Means is disclosed for flooding the containment structure of the nuclear reactor and for flooding the reactor vessels to cool the same.

A protection system is provided for protecting a nuclear reactor positioned on a barge which is floating in the water of a tank. The system includes one or more cones which are positioned on the upper end of the nuclear reactor which will disintegrate and deflect an aircraft or missile striking the same. The system also includes structure which permits the barge to move downwardly in the tank upon an aircraft or missile strike to reduce the impact force of the strike.

A floating nuclear power reactor is provided and includes a barge floating in a tank filled with water. The reactor includes a self-cooling containment structure and an emergency heat exchange system.

An offshore, floating, moored, nuclear power generating and multi-purpose platform is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, the invention is a spar platform with multi-purpose, topside decks, attached to a submerged dry tank that further includes: reactor generator deck(s), power plant main control deck, and central plant deck, that are all integrated within a watertight ballast hull. The invention further includes cells that are modular for facilitating factory assembly and ultimate construction in a shipyard environment. Reactor vessels are typical naval nuclear reactor having a time tested outstanding safety record. A plurality of reactor generator modules operate independently and collectively. Multipurpose topside decks house vessel command, crew, and any ancillary and co-generation equipment. The present invention, constructed in a multi-path manufacturing process, provides exceptional economic, environmental, sustainability, security, safety, and operational benefits to users.

An offshore, floating, moored, nuclear power generating plant and multi-purpose platform is disclosed herein. In a preferred embodiment, the invention consists of a spar or cell spar platform with multi-purpose, all weather topside decks, attached to a submerged dry tank that further includes: reactor generator deck(s), power plant main control deck, and central plant deck, that are all integrated within a watertight ballast hull. The invention design further includes cells that are modular for facilitating factory assembly and ultimate construction in a shipyard environment. Reactor vessels are typical naval nuclear reactor having a time tested outstanding safety record. A plurality of reactor generator modules are interconnected and operate independently and collectively and are transmitted by a plurality of high voltage direct current (HVDC) submarine cables through a transformer to the electrical grid. Multipurpose topside decks house vessel commend, crew, and any ancillary and co-generation equipment. The present invention, constructed in a multi-path manufacturing process, provides exceptional economic, environmental, sustainability, security, safety, and operational advantages over the current art of power generation.

An underwater electricity production module includes an elongated cylindrical casing, which includes an integrated electricity generation unit having a nuclear boiler. The generator is connected to an external electricity distribution station by electrical cables. The nuclear boiler is placed in a dry chamber of a reactor compartment associated with a chamber forming a safety water storage reservoir of the reactor. At least a radial wall of the reservoir chamber is in a direct heat exchange relationship with a marine environment that surrounds the underwater electricity production module in which the underwater electricity production module is submerged.
