Icebreaker Lenin
Icebreaker Lenin was the first nuclear surface ship in the world. It is categorized as a polar ice breaker.
Launched in 1957, the ship consists of two nuclear reactors and four steam turbines. The four Kirov turbines power corresponding generators connected to three sets of electric motors and gear shafts.
The Lenin was decommissioned in 1989 and may be converted into a museum ship. It is laid up at Atomflot, a base for nuclear ice-breakers in Murmansk.
