Maritime Nuclear Applications
Land-Based Applications
Reactors sited at ports could service maritime industry needs ranging from modernizing ports to providing heat for producing synthetic fuels used by various vessel types.
Reactor Onshore
Applications
- Microreactor or SMR sited at a port producing electricity, heat, or synthetic fuels
Offshore Fixed or Floating Applications
Dispatchable baseload power is an imperative for all our communities, including remote coastal settings where traditional utilities may not be within reach. By delivering power from an offshore fixed or floating nuclear power plant, we can provide remote communities with an affordable and reliable energy source.
Reactor Offshore: Offshore Power Consumption
Applications
- Small floating power station for offshore industry
- Floating datacenter
- Small floating power station for offshore synthetic fuels production
- Floating desalination plant
Reactor Offshore: Onshore Power Consumption
Applications
- Small floating power station for coastal industry
Mobile Applications
Since the NS Savannah got underway in 1959 to demonstrate the possibility of nuclear-powered ships for commercial use, a number of new technologies have emerged with greater sophistication. Commercial nuclear propulsion holds the promise of cleaning up commercial shipping by replacing dirty and expensive heavy bunker fuel. Various nuclear reactor technologies are being developed as options that are easy to construct, deploy and maintain.
