Groundbreaking ABS Study Explores Potential of Commercial Nuclear Propulsion
Industry-Leading Project Models Impact of Nuclear Reactors on a Container Vessel and Tanker (HOUSTON) The transformational impact of nuclear propulsion on the design, operation and emissions of a 14k TEU container vessel and a 157k DWT Suezmax tanker have been modeled by ABS and Herbert Engineering Corp. (HEC) in a groundbreaking study. ABS commissioned HEC to carry out the study to explore the potential of advanced modern reactor technology for commercial marine propulsion. The study is designed to help industry better understand the feasibility and safety implications of
