You have to observe Jiangnan carefully as they are the ones that built the previous ice breakers. If they are building a new ice breaker, it might probably in the same area where 003 was first laid before the modules were moved somewhere else. That's around where the newly formed basin is.
They need those ice breakers for the Northeast Route, which will access Russia's Yamal LNG facility, but can also allow you to send container ships across the Arctic and into Europe. Also, some, if not most of the LNG vessels you see being built in Changxing island, either in Jiangnan or Hudong Zhonghua might be Arc7 and have ice breaking capability. Once again, no need to underline the growing and vital strategic importance of LNG supply to China's energy security and to her industrial and shipping sectors.
I don't know about 25MW nuclear reactors, which to me sounds small, not any more powerful than a QC280 gas turbine. Its not the experience of operating nuclear reactors, its about building one of the right size, probably about 50MW or so.
Those 25MW are likely MWe. The MWt is likely much higher.
I agree that reactor is too small for a carrier. They likely need something about 4x as powerful.
The Russian RITM-400 is supposed to have 120 MWe. The US A4W reactor used in the Nimitz also generated like 100 MWe.

The world's largest dual-fuel container ship delivered in Shanghai, China | 全球最大雙燃料集裝箱船在中國上海交付
The world's largest container vessel powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG) in addition to fuel oil was handed over by its Chinese builder to its French buyer in Shanghai recently. With a deck as large as 23,978 square meters, roughly equivalent to the size of three and a half standard soccer fields, the world's largest and most advanced dual-fuel container ship can carry 23,000 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent unit) at a time. Independently designed by the No.708 Institute of China State Shipbuilding Corporation and built by Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding (Group) Co., Ltd. and Jiangnan Shipyard (Group) Co., Ltd.The ship is able to navigate in both open seas and offshore waters. Its French buyer, CMA CGM Group, is a worldwide container transportation and shipping company. The ship is the latest in a series of nine 23,000 TEU vessels powered by LNG. Its delivery marks that China's shipbuilding industry has established a whole independent ultra-large container ship building system from research, development, design and construction. "We call the ship 'The Hulk' because the main color of the ship is green and also it is powered by green energy," said Chen Jun, general manager of the Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding (Group) Co., Ltd.
Caixin article about south korea surpassing china in new shipbuilding orders.
What i dont understand is, if material cost are rising to china, they are also rising to south korea, right? then why are the south korea shipyards surpassing? because they have the quality edge?
