Summary
A new consortium will study the feasibility of floating nuclear power plants (FNPPs) to meet the energy demands of islands, ports and coastal communities in the Mediterranean Sea.
Class society ABS will join with reactor technology developer CORE Power and Greece-based Athlos Energy in researching how FNPPs can potentially unlock a range of applications including the establishment of grid-scale electricity to remote locations, the delivery of energy to ports, and power desalination plants that could provide potable water to drought-affected coastal communities.
ABS chairman and chief executive Christopher Wiernecki said the use of small modular reactors on floating platforms could address efforts to curb global emissions and increase energy security. “Floating nuclear power facilities show promise in supporting power grids, microgrids, industrial and port operations and data centres, among others,” said Mr Wiernicki.
