A nuclear power plant is mounted on a floating barge stationarily moored within a sea wall, with the barge rising and falling with the tide. Underwater conductors fixed relative to the sea bed and extending from the shore to the barge are connected to the floating power plant by a freely suspended, horizontal transmission line section, which extends beneath the barge and is always completely submerged. This transmission line section is weighted to have neutral buoyancy, whereby the transmission line section flexes as a catenary as the barge rises and falls with the tide.
