Icebreaker Lenin

Lenin was the first nuclear surface ship in the world. It is categorized as a polar icebreaker. Launched in 1957, Lenin is powered by two nuclear reactors and four steam turbines. The four Kirov turbines power corresponding generators connected to three sets of electric motors and gear shafts. During the winter of 1966-1967 Lenin suffered an accident with one of its reactors, though reliable details are not available. (See List of nuclear accidents.) Lenin was decommissioned in 1989 and may be converted into a museum ship. It is laid up at Atomflot, a base for nuclear icebreakers in Murmansk. Lenin Lenin Lenin
