Is an icebreaker under construction somewhere?

why care about icebreaker when we have a nuclear powered aircraft carrier.
Yuelong 3? I don't think that is nuclear powered. The Yuelong 3 ice breaker should be made by Jiangnan and its production should have started.
Arc7 rated ice breaking LNG carriers are also being made in the adjacent Hudong Zhonghua Changxin complex and they can be sharing dry docks with Jiangnan. In fact you can see the prismatic tops of one such ship being made right in the picture at the lower right corner and the carrier is sandwiched between two tankers.

What radiation shielding? Are you a nuclear engineer? Did you receive a degree in nuclear engineering? Are you being trained as a nuclear engineer? Are you an applied physicist? Are you a Chinese military insider, a member of the central military commission or a member of a subordinate organization? Do you work for the Jiangnan shipyard, or are you a member of the party or parties that supply reactor components to the Jiangnan shipyard? How can you tell those are radiation shields for the carrier? Or did you hear it from a random internet poster who heard it from his uncle's neighbor who heard it from her dentist who in turn read it on the internet that those are radiation shielding?

Do you have the original of this photo?
I would beg to be careful or at least either explain why you believe this to be some sort of radiation shielding or what's the source of this claim. To only present an image looks as if it is a fact and at least IMO it can be more or less anything given the low resolution.
I am quite sure nuclear reactor would be single piece and mounted directly, you would not build shielding like that, they look more like electric module. if it is part of the powerplant, it is too late, the engine, nuclear or not should be at the bottom of the ship. we are already at the lower deck.
