U.S. to Deploy Maritime Nuclear Reactors
The United States announced that it has established a clear framework for the deployment of offshore nuclear reactors, as part of the Trump administration's efforts to increase nuclear energy production, aiming to quadruple output by 2050. The Marine Metals Administration signed a memorandum of understanding with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to enhance the deployment of reactors in maritime areas off the U.S. coasts. They regard marine nuclear technology as safe and reliable, with current applications in warships and submarines, and note growing global interest in low-carbon emissions. However, activists have expressed concerns about the potential installation of nuclear reactors on old oil platforms, viewing it as a threat to the environment and maritime safety.
