Thanks for the links. So there is only one Russian floating nuclear power plant and it has a permanent location in Chukotka. This isn’t much like what you described to be honest.
It’s a relatively new technology, and such is its proposed use.
The Russian plant is stationed there for the time being, yes, but it could be moved elsewhere, which is the beauty of it. It’s just that Chukotka relies on it for now.
Sure, here’s a Wikipedia article:

Also, I was under the impression China has such ships deployed, while they are actually being built. Russia has an operational one.
