Physics Rationale: Russia's 2,500+ nm Northern Sea Route requires continuous ice-breaking through >2.5m consolidated multi-year pack ice. Diesel vessels burn >90 tons bunker oil/day and exhaust range in 20–40 days, whereas twin RITM-200 reactors provide 60 MW continuous shaft thrust for 7 years unrefueled.
