Lloyd’s Register has issued a new report focusing on nuclear propulsion, a fuel that could transform maritime with more reliable, emissions-free and longer-lived ships.
The Fuel for Thought: Nuclear report has found that the rise of small modular reactors points to a step change for nuclear applications in shipping, if regulatory hurdles can be overcome.
Mark Tipping, LR’s Power to X director, said: “Fuel for Thought: Nuclear represents one of the first easily accessible overviews on the use of nuclear power in shipping, combining information from a wide range of sources into one report tailored for commercial shipping and the wider maritime value chain.”
