“Atomic batteries” for maritime come one step nearer
Though nuclear power is widely seen as a promising option for future zero-carbon ship propulsion, the new types of reactor being proposed for ships are still under development. The good news is

C-Job Naval Architects eyes the nuclear option
Nuclear marine propulsion continues to attract advocates. Now, Netherlands based C-Job Naval Architects says that new research shows that nuclear energy could indeed be applied in commercial marine propulsion in the future.
VIDEO: Ulstein offers cruising a nuclear option
Unveiled at the Seatrade Cruise Global event in Miami, the key feature of the 149 meter long Ulstein Thor concept vessel is a thorium molten salt reactor — or MSR. Ulstein says
Are “atomic batteries” the path to shipping decarbonization?
Nuclear power could be in commercial maritime’s future, not its past. Even as MARAD continues the long-running decommissioning of the world’s first nuclear merchant ship, the NS Savannah, London-based Core Power (UK)
