Russian Akademik Lomonosov [0] is already a working example of such technology (well, apart from it being "only" 0.3 GW). While I think this direction has certainly has its niche (somewhat similar to floating storage and regasification units), I don't think we should view it as a general replacement for ground-based plants. It's not only about economics (after all floating plant inevitably will cost more), but providing energy to users deep inside land mass.
