According to MarineLink, ABS and the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy have signed a memorandum of understanding. This agreement aims to advance modern commercial nuclear technology for use at sea.
The collaboration between ABS and the DOE's Office of Nuclear Energy encompasses several key areas. These include the development of floating power solutions, which could provide energy for various maritime operations.
Furthermore, the agreement also focuses on the advancement of nuclear-powered vessels. This initiative could potentially lead to new types of propulsion systems for ships, as stated by MarineLink.
A third aspect of the memorandum of understanding involves the development of ports. This suggests that the infrastructure supporting maritime nuclear technology will also be a part of the joint effort.
