MARITIME NUCLEAR DEVELOPMENT

Oct. 28 2025

As maritime stakeholders look for pathways to reliably cut emissions, nuclear power has emerged as a potentially key technology for the industry. Impressive technical advances in recent decades mean that the main obstacles to wider adoption of the technology relate to the industry’s lack of suitable regulatory and liability frameworks. 

This brochure covers maritime nuclear technology’s current state of play, the work that needs to be done to promote uptake, and expected future developments.
