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.
