NUCLEAR ICEBREAKER YAMAL
 
 Designed as a working vessel to keep shipping lanes open along Russia's Northern Sea Route, the Yamal is among the world's most powerful and sophisticated icebreakers and one of the few surface ships ever to have reached the North Pole. The ship is a model of technology - a nuclear-powered vessel with 75,000 total horsepower and an armored steel hull designed to withstand the toughest polar conditions. At the same time, the Yamal offers the utmost in passenger comfort, with all the amenities you'd expect from the ultimate expedition ship. One of five icebreakers in its class operated by the Murmansk Shipping Company, the Yamal has been carrying adventurous travelers to the North Pole since 1993.

NUCLEAR POWER
 
 The Yamal's two nuclear reactors are encased in 160 tons of steel, high density concrete and water. The system's double vacuum stills produce five tons of fresh water per hour. The reactors direct steam to two turbines, which in turn power six generators driving three massive propellers, each with four seven-ton blades. The Yamal's high-efficiency propulsion system meets all international environmental and safety standards.
