An online conversation on offshore, maritime nuclear with cross-sector thought-leaders.
Are Gen III+ and Gen IV nuclear reactors heading towards water? Yes! Not necessarily as a coolant but potentially to radicalize the maritime industry.
With an ambition to decarbonize the maritime industry and use a nation’s surrounding waters to power onshore needs, nuclear technology innovation could enable two key solutions:
⚓️ Commercial ship propulsion powered with modular nuclear reactors; and
⚓️ Floating nuclear power plant (FNPP) located offshore to provide electricity onshore.
This conversation offers an invaluable opportunity to glean insight into IMO’s Resolution A.491(XII), Floating Nuclear Power Plants, Civil Maritime Nuclear Propulsion, Decarbonizing the maritime industry. Plus, new global financing and investment opportunities. 💰
