Abstract Research on the versatility of nuclear power plants can increase the utilization rate of nuclear power plants and reduce the development cycle and cost. By comparing the power requirements of Russian nuclear power icebreakers, polar transport ships, and floating nuclear power plants, and combining the development status of Russian marine reactor devices and steam turbine generator sets, the analysis shows that marine nuclear power plants can be based on low (38tMW), The three-level benchmark reactor devices of medium (175tMW) and high (350tMW) and the two-level benchmark steam turbine power plants of low (6∼8 eMW) and medium (35-40 eMW) are designed for multi-scheme combination.
