The Case for Nuclear Cargo Ships

Cars That Think

Department of Energy commissioned the American Bureau of Shipping to conduct a study, recently concluded, to identify suitable reactors for a merchant ship and describe R&D challenges that would have to be overcome before nuclear-powered shipping could become a commercial reality. Why nuclear-powered ships?
