If built, it will be a nuclear submarine the size of an aircraft carrier.
Its goal is to pump gas from the Arctic.
It will be the result of cooperation between the Russian company Gazprom and the Kurchatov Institute.
It will be able to transport 180,000 tons of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to great depths under the Arctic ice from Yamal to Murmansk.
The project, although scientifically documented, is still considered futuristic. It will operate with 3 RITM-200 nuclear reactors, will have a speed of 17 knots and a crew of 25 to 28 people.
