Nuclear propulsion is a viable solution for maritime decarbonization
Norway, Oct. 21 -- According to a new paper by DNV, shifting environmental requirements are reigniting interest in nuclear propulsion as a long-term solution for maritime decarbonization. This renewed attention comes despite the absence of any civilian commercial nuclear-powered vessel commissions in more than four decades.DNV's latest report, "Maritime nuclear propulsion: Technologies, commercial viability, and regulatory challenges for nuclear-powered vessels," highlights how maritime nuclear technologies differ from land-based reactors, and emphasizes the need to address technological, regulatory, and commercial factors in the effort to understand the potential role of nuclear propulsion.The paper addresses the main elements of the futur...
