By Jonathan Saul LONDON - The maritime industry is exploring whether nuclear fuel can be used to power commercial ships as advancements in technology open up such options, industry officialsSaltWire's Atlantic regional weather forecast for September 19, 2023 | SaltWireLONDON - The maritime industry is exploring whether nuclear fuel can be used to power commercial ships as advancements in technology open up such options, industry officials said.

Small and mass-produced reactors, which are envisaged to be fitted onboard ships, are less powerful and consume less nuclear fuel than traditional nuclear sites. Fincantieri was"interested in following the evolution of these technologies which may result in significant contribution to the decarbonisation of ships related to our core business", which is cruise liners, naval ships and specialised vessels, the spokesperson added.

UK-based CORE POWER is separately looking to develop a prototype advanced molten salt nuclear reactor that uses liquid fuel instead of solid fuel.
