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...
