A ceremony was held on 25 May at the Baltic Shipyard in Saint Petersburg to mark the launch of the Ural nuclear-powered icebreaker. The 173 metre-long Ural is one of three vessels of Project 22220 - featuring RITM-200 reactors - that will be able to break through 3-meter-thick ice as they escort vessels across the Arctic Ocean.

A report by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released on 8 October warns that unprecedented change is needed to limit global warming. The special report, “Global Warming of 1.5 degrees”, was commissioned by governments at the Paris climate talks in 2015. It will inform the COP24 summit in Katowice, Poland in December.
The IPCC said in a statment accompanying the repor that limiting global warming to 1.5°C compared to 2°C "would require rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society".

A large increase in the use of nuclear power would help keep global warming to below 1.5 degrees, according to a United Nations report published today. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) special report - Global Warming of 1.5 degrees - was commissioned by governments at the Paris climate talks in 2015 and will inform the COP24 summit in Katowice, Poland this December.

Russian scientists are developing the world’s first civilian nuclear submarine, according to Viktor Litvinenko, head of the project team for the direction of physical and technical research at the Russian Foundation for Advanced Research Projects (Fond Perspektivnikh Issledovanni – FPI). It will be used to survey for minerals under the Arctic ice, RIA Novosti reported. “The underwater seismic survey complex was developed by the Rubin Central Design Bureau as a civilian nuclear submarine. Instead of weapon launchers, it has mines with robotic complexes, autonomous unmanned submarines that undertake seismic prospecting, and search for minerals,” Litvinenko explained. These are unique technological solutions that will help future generations to solve serious problems in the development of the Arctic shelf. The submarine is 135.5 metres long, and 14.4 metres wide with a speed of 12.6 knots and a maximum immersion depth of 400 metres. The submarine will be able to stay in autonomous navigation for 90 days with a crew of 40. Litvinenko said the pre-design is now completed.
