ABS Explores the Potential of Nuclear Technology on LNG Carriers
Report is the Latest Initiative from ABS to Address Challenges to Nuclear Technology at Sea (HOUSTON) ABS released its latest report into the potential of advanced nuclear technology for maritime applications, with a study of a small modular reactor on a standard liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier. The transformational impact of a high-temperature, gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) on the design, operation and emissions of a 145,000m[3] LNG carrier design was modeled by ABS and Herbert Engineering Corporation (HEC). The study is designed to help industry better understand the
