TES-3

Transportable Electric Station 3 aka TES-3 was produced in the Leningrad-based Kirov Factory, but the first working station only started producing energy in 1961. Its turbine generator produced 1.5 megawatts. This Soviet utility was built on the body of T-10 Tank and weighted 310 tons and was capable of transporting over 37 pounds of uranium. Some tests were done in the 1960s, but the unprofitable project was ended in 1969.

The TES-3's primary purpose as a utility was to provide mobile power to the soviet army and emergency power to communities in distress during times of peace. Specifically hospitals and other public service centers should the power grid have been disrupted.
