Maritime Nuclear Energy

The Maritime Nuclear Application Group is a research hub and resource center that brings together experts from the maritime and nuclear energy sectors to demonstrate advanced nuclear technologies for a range of marine applications.

The group fulfills this mission through strategic studies of potential maritime applications, by identifying domestic and international legal and regulatory hurdles, cataloging and sharing of relevant information resources, and collaborating and coordinating with global stakeholders of all types.

The Maritime Nuclear Application Group aims to support near-term field demonstrations of advanced reactor technologies in marine settings by aligning with the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Reactor Innovation Center.

coasts

Coastal communities host port infrastructure that forms the bedrock of the global maritime sector. Port communities are key locations to deploy advanced reactor technologies.

catalysts

Large swaths of the global maritime fleet require energy technologies that can provide large, sustained power output across thousands of miles. Advances in nuclear and marine systems over the last 40 years provide critical catalysts to not only address this energy problem but create a paradigm shift in how the global shipping industry operates.

capabilities

The Maritime Nuclear Applications Group convenes a unique set of skills and expertise to strategically address today’s maritime sector challenges. The members of our group represent vessel owners and operators, advanced reactor vendors, classification societies, U.S. national laboratories, nuclear and maritime lawyers, maritime organizations and companies, academics, and some of the top nuclear and advanced manufacturing experts in the world.
