The Lenin nuclear icebreaker is the world's first surface vessel with a nuclear power plant. The icebreaker was built in the Soviet Union to service the Northern Sea Route and ensure continuous navigation, and was transferred to the USSR Ministry of the Marine Fleet on December 3, 1959. In 1989, it was decommissioned and placed in permanent mooring next to the Murmansk sea terminal as a museum ship.
