We hear from the russian authorities that its more likely to be hit by an asteroid than a disaster for one of these floating plants but as you say its a new design and to some degree is unproven. Indeed i mean we know the. Result of must take precautions and they say that its a new variable to tsunamis but we also know that this wessel is going to be sent to the arctic to the far north where changing weather conditions and to some degree severe medical missions can become a problem for any vessel and to transport it could become a problem for the tugboats are helping in the rest of the movie because it doesnt self self propelled and at its destination we know that its very far from Emergency Response capabilities which are based more to the west in russia boucle him and that makes us worry that in emergency situation. Russia would have problems responding quickly enough to any unfortunate events. Could we see a situation this being a prototype if its successful or the like it would measure success but what if it is successful can we see this being sold this model around the world we see others. Well we have heard from or autumn over several really several years that this prototype is well am scientific research. Object thats crude lead to more of the same type being produced of course being a troll prototype they meet might make changes to the concept Going Forward but acid is now we see several risks related to. This type of vessel being most produced and. Sent out in the world one thing is of course that is so enormous selfpropelled wrestle with nuclear fuel on board and those seaborne does not really fit into International Regulations at the current time that would be. One thing that russia has to so if it wants to move these outside their own territorial waters last year there was a situation where the academical most of was being told from the shipyard in St Petersburg 2 more months to the baltic sea and along always coast and the russians decided not to fuel the vessel before it was told and due to exactly the circumstances so they. Fueled it in their own territorial waters. But in different definitely we also see risks related to the fact that. The remoteness and mobility of this station is what makes it tempting to to use because we can supply power to remote areas the same time that remoteness in itself is what we deem the biggest risk because Emergency Response capabilities would have troubles reaching it also if its was situated in some ways in asia or africa for that matter and the competence in all countries that could be interested in such and such technology isnt necessarily up to speed with what russia has so that is also a concern for us. There from the below not from those and also thankful. Another round of talks between the u. S. And taliban has begun in qatar is focused on ending the u. S.
