    New Nuclear for Maritime in Ports and Waterways

    New Nuclear for Maritime represents a new generation of small modular nuclear energy technologies which could be applied to the marine environment. As global trade requires ports and ships to decarbonise to eliminate harmful emissions, new nuclear is emerging as a potential zero-emissions alternative.

    In particular, the development of closed-cycle, unpressurized molten salt reactors for use on Floating Nuclear Power Plants (FNPPs) and nuclear-powered ships is gaining industry interest for operations in nearshore environments, waterways, and ports.

    This in-depth one-on-one interview will demystify the technology and open the dialogue around how a new zero-emissions energy system could emerge with the potential in terms of economic benefits while ensuring safely, security and environmental care.
