The nuclear-powered underwater gas carrier of the Kurchatov Institute will be able to travel the Northern Sea Route in 12 days The Russian nuclear-powered underwater gas carrier will be able to reach speeds of up to 17 knots due to the absence of contact with ice. Its voyage time along the Northern Sea Route will be reduced from 20 to 12 days. The vessels will be equipped with three RITM-200 nuclear reactors, which will provide electricity to three propulsion electric motors with a shaft capacity of 30 MW each. The design of the nuclear-powered underwater gas carrier is being carried out by the Malakhit Design Bureau. The length of the nuclear-powered underwater gas carrier is 360 m; width - about 70 m; height - about 30 m; draft - 12-13 m; total capacity of the
