A new study shows nuclear ship propulsion can cut costs and regulatory risks and examines the possibility of treating reactors as reusable assets.

Nuclear-powered DP vessels are a technically feasible solution and are achievable, the Nuclear Propulsion in merchant Shipping (NuProShip II) study has confirmed. The NuProShip II project, funded by the Research Council of Norway, demonstrates the technical feasibility of nuclear-powered DP vessels,
