Prospective evaluation of nuclear power potential for shipping (ZEWT Partnership)

Expected Outcome:

Project results are expected to contribute to all the following expected outcomes:

1. Drafting of a R&I roadmap towards deploying nuclear power in commercial shipping, including small modular reactors (SMRs) and other advanced nuclear technologies (e.g. complementing the latest European Industrial Alliance on SMRs technology roadmap^[1]), including identification of research gaps, infrastructures and future innovation needs
2. Mapping of relevant regulatory regimes nationally, regionally and internationally for the use of nuclear-powered shipping, including recommendations on regulatory frameworks and international cooperation.
3. Development of scenarios
