True, but consider:

When an electrical cable snaps little happens, a breaker trips and maybe a fish got fried (but not many).

When a pipeline snaps you get deep water horizon.

But it’s not like it’s a brand new design just out of prototyping. It’s a continuation of a 350 MW unit that ran for decades and provided drinking water.

Point is the Russians have breeder technology fairly well figured out.

Future reactors? Rosatom has 800 MW breeders now!

Also, these are small plants; not the amount of power that would cripple a country.

Make its e-supply more reliable, yes. But not replace the bulk of the supply. For that Rosatom will sell you a few GW units on land

Off shore drilling rigs aren’t anchored to he floor, but the pipe could literally snap if the rig floats away.

They are kept in place solely by GPS and thrust vectoring.

The Ruskies are going to use the same technology here, known for decades, and probably safer than oil rigs since there nothing to snap and a small volume to protect if the whole thing sinks.

A 15km underwater line is not a problem.
