At the moment China is building the first floating nuclear power plant. The place where exactly this FNNP will be constructed is confidential, however it's known that the plant will be put into service in 2019. The project cost comes out in $461 million.
By now 36 dangerous production reactors function in China, which are installed in 14 nuclear power plants.
After the disaster at Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant nuclear reactors are noticeable especially cautiously. Today many people bring Taiwan to task for exploitation of dangerous nuclear assets. The seismic activity in the region is extremely high, so the presence of such installations is an undue risk.
In spite of the disaster at Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant a great number of nuclear power plants are still functional in Japan.

This year the first unit of Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant has been put into service in Iran. The government has assured that the new plant is absolutely safety in comparison with Fukushima NPP, the age of which is 40 years. However the nature can give unexpected surprises to the Iranian authorities - only in 2013 there were two earthquakes near Bushehr.
Many countries around the world amaze visitors with their vast size. In contrast, there are also those whose tiny size is equally surprising. In this article, we will talk about the five smallest countries on the planet.
