=Mendeleev Program=

The [[Mendeleev Program]] is novel proposal based on a desk study carried by Fluke. 17 million people in the UK live in large port cities and urban conurbations. These communities could be provided with low-carbon electricity and heat for space heating & domestic hot water by a fleet of permanently moored ship-based small modular nuclear reactors

Sizewell B's accounting closure date is 2035, which EDF is seeking to extend to 2055. This would make it, along with Hinkley Point C (presently under construction) one of the last two operating nuclear power stations after 2030
