Russian Army to Build Mobile Nuclear Stations
Seems that the whole “Pamir” setup will require four sizable truck-pulled trailers:
- Reactor
- Turbine
- Control room
- housing for crew
No info on the power output, but it’s claimed that it’ll be up and running around 2020.
Sure, kinda hard to really necessarily trust Russian (or, let’s face it, pretty much anybodies) claims about developing anything interesting and nuclear anytime soon. But if they were able to pull it off, and go from “hey, I’ve got an idea” to “hey, look, an operational nuclear power station on wheels” inside half a decade, then the US will have no excuses from not being able to crank out it’s own even better nukes. The only possible excuse will be politics and bureaucrats.
