How Will The World's NEWEST Nuclear Icebreaker Work? 

Japan: We don't want ☢️ power, lets buy LNG instead Russia: Nuclear powered delivery of LNG for Tanaka, sign here

This ship is a beauty. Leave it to the Russians, they are very capable!

"2 Soccer fields long and the height of a multi-story building". With measurements this vague, who needs lies?

Put a laser on the front. Ice problem solved.

This application should be used for all shipping

I'm not a hater of people that populate countries that have political issues with my United States. If Russia did something that worked better than ours I'm not feeling any hate. This elevates the standards and that isn't bad in my mind. Some competitions actually help more people than they hurt.

I'm going to keep my eyes on this one. VERY impressive!

Jelouski Ukronazis are plenty here!

Protection from running aground haha its designed to ground itself on the thick ice and fall though it 😄

Chemical Reaction???? I thought it was nuclear? Nuclear reactions are not chemical reactions...

Altissima tecnología SOVIÉTICA

Incredible

Just think of how good the lodging is on her as well? Food and other activities, which is internal, they will not be able to stop, unless there's a massive space which in summer months up north allows the ship to stop and allow the ship mates to get off at the north pole etc. ⚓⚓👌👌✌✌👍👍

Crazy how this footage shows geo engineering spraying at the North Pole region. Stripes in the sky that far north?! Like wtf

Chemical reaction!!! 🤣 You don’t know what you’re talking about bro!!

Also they should have propeller protectors

15:19 sure no power is one thing, what happens it it capsizes is it still a fool proof reactor?

Russia always oversell and under delivers. Like most governments. Lots of icebreakers have used the bubbler system. They also use large tanks of water that they can pump from side to side to make the Shiprock. As far as open water capabilities, the wind class icebreakers that were built in the late 40s were made for North Atlantic escort duty. They weren’t the best riding. I know I spent two years on one, but we were in several hurricanes and had waves of 25+ foot and did just fine. We were also even with those small ships under 300 feet 68 feet wide capable of going through 15 foot thick ice. And the ship was tough enough that it lasted more than 40 years of continuous service going to the Arctic and Antarctic, and also breaking ice on the great lakes during the winter

The new Leader class looks exciting to my untrained eyes. I hope we see it sooner than later and lives up to its specifications.

But, however, chemical reactions can lead to nuclear reactions though!

what is the name of the ship?

I hope Canada and the US collaborate on fleet of modern, powerful icebreakers. Together, they can ensure the Northwest Passage becomes a viable trade route as climate change opens the Arctic Ocean to near year-round shipping.

Dangerous how the public can have nuclear power

You need to talk more slowly and clearly if you want to be understood by most English speakers. I have lived in the UK for all but 5 years of my life and I struggled to keep up with what you were saying.

Use CGS (centimeter, gram, second) system. who care for feet, OK?

This is NOT nuclear! This is a Chemical reaction!!

لمصر متأكد بعد ضربها عبدها في كونها وهو و نحنا عشاش صشقار سودان سودان

The leader should have the option of pumping water in the bow. Plus other things to be invincible.

Steam Powered, nuclear 'fired'. Still in the Steam Power Age. not coal but Nuclear Heat boils water = steam.

and where can we see a real ice braker? not pictures I mean

Oh I thought it was global warming that was why the ice is breaking up. Humm?

Designing the latest and greatest future mega ice breaking ships of the future is a curious endeavor to me. From a practical perspective, and obviously including monetary considerations, from all the chatter coming from peer reviewed studies written on recycled materials, and notarized with the artistically relevant and specifically designed logo made from mounds of material one could find practically blind folded waltzing through a local grazing prairie recently occupied by the most elite bovine specimens in the Northern Hemisphere. Aside from being distracted by the clever and humiliating contraptions strapped to the backs of the poor sheep in the pen over that are connected to their anuses to capture any methane, and you can assist the 2 gravely injured Red Tailed Hawks that were accidentally lacerated by the 130 foot tall eye sore that is spinning and humming just above you. Hopefully the noise pollution won’t interfere with your equilibrium so you can get into your best Flo Jo style “run for your life” routine and get to your Prius. It’s almost inevitable at this point that you could not help but say to yourself…..what exactly is going on around here? Despite all this greenery and enormous and endless amounts of capital being pilfered….. I mean invested to combat the next ice age, wait….that’s right, we’re not in the early to mid 70’s. I meant the warming of the planet by humans ourselves and apparently sheep and bovines and other farm animals plus the rampaging SUV’s and small private jets and 15, 8 cylinder limousines that are running nonstop with the air conditioning on full blast waiting for powerful individuals to exit the building after an exhausting 5 hours of ranting and shaming everyone who paid big bucks to watch the individual speak on conservation and reducing pollution and your carbon footprint of inexcusable sizes and how much they need to lead by example…….which will remain their little secret that they don’t. But regardless of this…..we must ponder the reasons such enormous amounts of money are being wasted to develop a behemoth of a ship that will be capable of breaking through ice fields that seem to be endless and are so thick that they must be maintained before the ice gets so thick that even a larger ship could not breach. Why I ask, why completely flush hard earned money down the toilet?? A titanic floating machine of these dimensions and thickness will simply not be necessary, for the road we are told that we’re heading down will not require any machinery for a purpose or reason that will not plague mankind anymore.

The guy at 12:22 sure looks like putin nephew

Russia is a great power 💪

So, they do not have it; all they can show is some testing facility and a desktop ornament. They're full of talk again.

No need for these ships, the arctic will be ice free according to noble laureate Al Gore.

FFS use metrics, just like rest of the world....hurts my brain to trying to convert foots and soccerfields and washing machines and toyota corollas and african elephants what your freedom units seem to be....and si illogical convertions between units.

Well it's way uglier than the older soviet breakers but hey! If it works. They should paint it orange like a stinking castle like they used to do though

A nuclear ice breaker ? What if it capsizes ?

Nothing against the Russian people. Russia hasn't always had the best record with nuclear powerplants. Mobile or stationary.

Global warming has melted all of the ice across the Arctic Ocean rendering ice breakers irrelevant and unnecessary. There hasn’t been any ice since the year 2000. Lol! 😂

Nuclear reactions NOT chemical reactions. I stopped watching at that point. No one checks this?

Here is the real biggest icebraker whole the world , russia icebraker

Global warming.

Would need more than 161HP (120KW) of power, would need like 161,000HP. Please learn the difference between a decimal point and a comma; decimal points separate whole numbers from fractional numbers and commas are used to separate number groups such as 161,000.

Seems like a waste of money considering the way the climate is heading.

Looks like a disaster waiting to happen if it ever gets built.

If this is as good as the rest of Russias stuff, it will be held together by tape a chewing gum.

Haha Russia doesn’t have the money to fund this project. There nuclear subs are in disrepair. There only aircraft carriers was built before the Cold War. There flag ship destroyer caught on fire and sunk. It was so poorly built, that they could not use communications and radar at the same time.

Ruzzians are not leading in the icebreaker space 🙄

Russian propaganda

There’s plenty of Russophobic NAFO trolls 🧌 in the comments.. 😅
