Russia’s Project 22220 Nuclear-Powered Icebreaker Arktika Resumes Sea Trials

The Arktika lead nuclear icebreaker of project 22220 sailed out from Baltic Shipyard for the final stage of sea trials, the enterprise said.

“Innovative solutions which have never been used in a nuclear-powered vessel were implemented in the lead nuclear icebreaker.
The Arktika is equipped with electric alternating-current propulsion with asynchronous electric motors.
The icebreaker has high-voltage generators and a steam unit designed specifically for it.
Practically all equipment is Russian-made.
The running trials will test interaction of the electric motor with the nuclear power plant and the main turbo generators.
We have entered the final stage of trials.
The icebreaker will be handed over to the customer after return to the Baltic Shipyard.
It is to become operational in 2020,”
