Lloyd’s Register announces the release of its latest publication, the nuclear guidance document ‘Navigating nuclear energy in maritime’.
Comprehensive framework supports safe adoption of nuclear energy
This comprehensive guide is designed to support project teams, owners, operators, insurers, and other stakeholders as industries explore the adoption of nuclear energy for commercial shipping and offshore applications.
The guidance provides a holistic overview of the regulatory, technical, operational, and financial considerations for deploying nuclear power in maritime environments. Key topics covered include:
– Regulatory frameworks and alignment between maritime and nuclear authorities
– Integration of nuclear technology with maritime systems
– Safety case development and environmental considerations
– Security, safeguards, and insurance requirements
– Roadmap for adoption, including stakeholder engagement, project planning, and risk management
LR says the guidance draws on its extensive experience in maritime classification and nuclear assurance, with contributions from Global Nuclear Security Partners (GNSP) and NorthStandard. The document aims to help navigate the complex landscape of compliance, safety, and innovation as the industry moves towards sustainable and secure energy solutions.
