ABB has signed an expanded memorandum of understanding with Swedish nuclear company Blykalla to enhance the deployment of small modular lead-cooled reactors (SMRs) in the maritime sector. This collaboration follows a previous agreement focusing on energy grid applications and coincides with the International Maritime Organization's efforts to update safety codes for nuclear merchant ships. The partnership aims to leverage AB's integration expertise and Blykalla's advanced reactor technology to promote sustainable shipping solutions and support global decarbonization efforts.
