A marine power structure includes a building structure adapted to float on a body of water having a water surface. The mobile structure is transportable to a deployment location. The marine power structure also includes a nuclear enclosure disposed within in the building structure with a nuclear reactor disposed therein. A primary coolant system is connected to the nuclear reactor permitting heat generated by the nuclear reactor to be transferred thereto. At least one stabilizer is provided. The stabilizer is adapted to engage the building structure. The at least one stabilizer assists to maintain the stability of the building structure at the deployment location.

A system is provided for use with a nuclear reactor which is mounted on a barge and which floats in a water tank. The system includes at least one water pipe which extends from a source of water to the interior of the tank. The system also includes a pipe which permits the drainage of water from the water tank. Valves are imposed in the piping so that the water in the tank will have a desired level and temperature. The system also enables fresh water to be supplied to the containment interior of the reactor. Further, the system includes piping and valves to supply water to the condenser and to drain water from the condenser. The system also includes flexible and slack tubular sections positioned in the piping between the barge and the water tank which allows the barge to move while maintaining the integrity of the tubing.

The systems and methods generally include a nuclear power plant unit assembled in a shipyard from a plurality of structural modules, each of the structural modules having manufactured components for use in power production when moored or fixed to a floor at least one of in and proximal to at least one of an offshore marine environment, a river environment and a coastal marine environment. The nuclear power plant unit is subdivided into at least one arrangement of structural modules that includes an electrical interface for one of transmitting electrical power generated by the nuclear unit and powering a system of the unit, a communications interface for communications internal or external to the unit, a user interface that is configured to permit a user to access a system of the unit, and a network interface for data communications to or from the unit.
