Long Beach and the floating nuclear plant
The Port of Long Beach has partnered with Bluecore Energy to develop floating small modular nuclear reactors aimed at reducing carbon emissions and powering port operations. The reactors, designed to be placed on barges offshore, are still in development, with regulatory approval and safety protocols underway. While proponents emphasize their safety and potential to provide clean energy, critics raise concerns about costs, safety risks, and nuclear proliferation. The project is part of the port’s efforts to double its container volume by 2050 while achieving emissions-free operations.
