It did work. The technology was lost alongside the USSR (yes, it is possible to lose technology). Rosatom is currently fiddling with floating reactors, in the format of a cargo boat

Can you share some sources for this? This sounds both amazing and extremely tragic.

Someone else posted an authoritative looking PDF that says that the technical plans for the thing were declassified a few years ago. I don't see any basis for describing the tech as lost, actually kinda concerning nobody else called that claim out.

Like don't get me wrong I share the sense of grief for lost potential (esp wrt space exploration) but let's stick to reality

For the reactor itself? The link is in the post. For the floating one? I can offer wikifedia

Don't give the dolphins access to nuclear power. We've been warned about this already!
