An offshore, floating, moored, nuclear power generating plant and multi-purpose platform is disclosed herein. In a preferred embodiment, the invention consists of a spar or cell spar platform with multi-purpose, all weather topside decks, attached to a submerged “dry tank” that further includes: reactor generator deck(s), power plant main control deck, and central plant deck, that are all integrated within a watertight ballast hull. The invention design further includes cells that are modular for facilitating factory assembly and ultimate construction in a shipyard environment. Reactor vessels are typical naval nuclear reactor having a time tested outstanding safety record. A plurality of reactor generator modules are interconnected and operate independently and collectively and are transmitted by a plurality of high voltage direct current (HVDC) submarine cables through a transformer to the electrical grid. Multipurpose topside decks house vessel commend, crew, and any ancillary and co-generation equipment. The present invention, constructed in a multi-path manufacturing process, provides exceptional economic, environmental, sustainability, security, safety, and operational advantages over the current art of power generation.
