New paper proposes framework to support UK development of advanced, safe, small nuclear reactors as a reliable and scalable zero-emission maritime power source.

The UK is well positioned to lead the safe development and deployment of new nuclear power systems for commercial ships and Floating Nuclear Power Plants (FNPPs), according to a new report from CORE POWER, NorthStandard and Lloyd’s Register (LR).

Wiernicki: Shipping can’t get to net zero by 2050 without nuclear

“New nuclear technology is a global decarbonization solution and a commercial shipping disruptor. There is no net zero by 2050 without nuclear.” That was the view from ABS chairman and CEO Christopher J. Wiernicki, speaking at a Houston event organized by Core Power.

“New nuclear is a transformational technology. It disrupts the commercial model, the economics of shipping, as well as the operation of vessels and of course their design,” said Wiernicki. “Not only does it offer zero carbon...

CORE POWER, Glosten introduce floating nuclear power plant to US ports

CORE POWER (US) has partnered with naval architecture and marine engineering firm Glosten to design a floating nuclear power plant (FNPP) aimed at supplying clean energy to ports across the United States.

Developed by CORE POWER, the FNPP is a nearshore infrastructure system featuring a barge-based nuclear power plant, support services, electrical grid integration, and operational teams. Designed for easy transport and rapid deployment, the FNPP is expected to generate approximately 175GWh of...

LR and CORE POWER to study next-gen nuclear container ship rules

Lloyd’s Register (LR) and CORE POWER have initiated a joint regulatory assessment study to explore the safety and regulatory requirements for a next-generation nuclear-powered feeder container ship to operate in a European port.

This study focused on the feasibility and necessary frameworks for utilizing a fourth-generation reactor known for its high inherent safety. Following initial planning efforts, it was formalized through a joint development project agreement with A.P. Moller-Maersk.

“The...

Maersk joins nuclear powered containership study

Maersk is keeping all its green propulsion open, including green methanol, bio-LNG and, maybe at some future date, nuclear. It has signed a joint develop project agreement that sees it join Lloyd’s Register (LR) and nuclear marine propulsion specialist Core Power in launching a joint regulatory assessment study. The study will conduct research on the regulatory feasibility and frameworks that would need to be established for a nuclear powered containership using a fourth-generation reactor to...

“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 that the technology is getting nearer. London-based Core Power (UK) Ltd., which plans to build “atomic batteries” for ships based on molten salt reactor (MSR) technology, reports that development has taken a huge step forward with the successful start of pumped-salt operations at a dedicated facility in...
