Tankers to go nuclear? (Nov 19 2010) Shipping and power experts have joined together to explore the potential for nuclear power to propel future tankers. Members of new research consortium include Lloyd's Register, Enterprises Shipping and Trading, Hyperion Power Generation and BMT Nigel Gee. They have joined together to examine the marine applications for small modular reactors (SMRs). The companies believe the installation of SMRs is technically feasible and has the potential to drastically reduce shipping's CO2 emissions. "This a very exciting project," said LR's CEO, Richard Sadler. "We believe that as society recognises the limited choices available in the low-carbon, oil-scarce economy - and as land-based nuclear plants become common place - we will see nuclear ships on specific trade routes sooner than many people currently anticipate." Enterprises' Victor Restis said: "Despite the fact that shipping contributes much less to the world's atmospheric pollution than other shore-based industries, we believe that no effort is too great when it comes to safeguarding a better world for future generations. We are extremely honoured and proud to be part of this consortium at this historic event, as we strongly believe that alternative power generation is the answer for shipping transportation." The consortium believes that SMRs, with a thermal power output of more than 68 MW, have the potential to be used as a plug-in nuclear 'battery'. The research is intended to produce a concept tanker design based on conventional and 'modular' concepts. Special attention will be paid to analysis of a vessel's lifecycle cost, as well as to hull-form designs and structural layout, including grounding and collision protection. "We are enthusiastic about participating in the historic opportunity presented by this truly groundbreaking consortium," said John 'Grizz' Deal, CEO Hyperion Power. "In addition to fitting the basic requirements as the model for studying the application of SMRs in commercial naval propulsion, the Hyperion Power Module [HPM] can also help to set new nuclear maritime standards. The HPM's design includes a non-pressurised vessel and non-reactive coolant. These features, among others in the HPM, should encourage the industry to strive for even higher levels of inherent safety in their models," he said. "Nuclear propulsion offers the opportunity for an emissions-free alternative to fossil fuel, while delivering ancillary benefits and security to the maritime industry," said Dr Phil Thompson, sector director - transport, for the BMT group. "We look forward to using our wide range of maritime skills and expertise to identify the through-life implications, risks and potential for developing and using SMRs in the civilian maritime environment and to provide a framework for its safe and reliable introduction and utilisation," Dr Thompson concluded. ============= fm tanker operator ============ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ 1.
