The important bit is about the timeline: At least ten yeara to proof of concept.
There is no industrial base dor this at the moment. And then there is the IRENA commission, tasked with developing a strategy to decarbonize shipping, and they went with green fuel instead of nuclear. And that commission included ship builders, operators and other domain experts.
- Manuel_D 3y agoThe International Renewable Energy Agency's [1] job is to advocate for more widespread adoption of wind and solar. Nuclear power threatens that objective. This is about as naive as trusting fossil fuel companies' paid-for scientists on climate change. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Renewable_Energy_Agency https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Renewable_Energy...

The IRENA page provided said information in an easier to digest form so. The only source talking about nuclear reactors for civilian shipping was that Reuters article. Personally, I'd take exhaustive reports and internationally accepted strategies above some statement made towards Reuters.
