The China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) has presented designs for the largest nuclear-powered containership in the world. The 24,000-TEU-class vessel’s plans were revealed Tuesday at the Marintec China expo in Shanghai. To generate power, the ship will use a fourth-generation molten salt reactor (abbreviated as the MSR).
The ultra-large nuclear container vessel is designed to achieve ‘zero emissions’ during the vessel’s operating cycle, according to a post on Weibo.
