Russians building world's largest nuclear powered ice breaker

Powered by two “RITM-200” pressurized water reactors the “Arctic” is being built to generate 175MWe. Its efficiency and power allows the new model to crack ice fields 3 meters thick.
comment:

I thought the arctic ice cap was melting.  If so, why do the Russians think they will need a big ice breaker?  Do you think it is possible that the Russians didn't get the memo?  Maybe Al Gore can break the bad news to them.
