This webinar, part of the Fuel for thought series,  produced in collaboration with Nuclear Engineering International delves into the key findings from the Fuel for thought: Nuclear report, exploring various aspects of using nuclear energy as a fuel for ships.

Topics include production and supply, pricing, safety, regulatory landscape, and competition from other fuels. The webinar also emphasizes the importance of life cycle analysis, featuring a panel of industry experts who will discuss ship operator demand, interest, and the economic drivers behind nuclear fuel in the maritime sector.

Discover the science behind nuclear energy for shipping as our speaker panel shares insights into the latest technological advancements, including new small modular reactors (SMRs) and their applications. They address practical strategies to tackle key issues faced by the maritime industry, such as safety concerns and crew training, highlighting the need for international cooperation.

Developments such as the establishment of the Nuclear Energy Maritime Organization (NEMO) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Atlas program will be showcased, plus the Allseas real word experience of nuclear powered projects, offering valuable lessons and best practices, including a live Q&A session with attendees.
