Korea's molten salt nuclear-powered container ship design wins US app…

South Korea's Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute has secured US regulatory approval for a conceptual design of a 15,000-TEU container ship powered by a molten salt reactor. The Approval in Principle from the American Bureau of Shipping signals the technical and safety viability of nuclear-powered maritime freight. If you build power systems, thermal management, or safety components for compact reactors, shipping lines now have a buyer with US regulatory clearance. The bottleneck was always the regulator - that's gone.
