Seems the Soviets wanted to apply nuclear power to *everything* (the Commies did have the occasional good idea; but their followthrough tended to suck), and even built nuclear powered lighthouses. It makes sense… along the long northern coast of Russia, in the days before GPS, lighthouses would be a dire necessity; and being hell and gone away from civilization, an atomic powerplant would allow the lighthouses to operate a very long time between refuelings.
Pity that they allowed them to fall into radioactive ruins.
