Samsung Heavy Industries has received approval in principle from the American Bureau of Shipping and the Liberian Registry for a 174,000 cubic meter liquefied natural gas carrier utilizing a small modular molten salt reactor. Concurrently, the US and UK governments have formed a bilateral partnership to expedite reactor licensing, reducing the timeframe from three to four years to just two. This initiative includes a substantial public investment aimed at decreasing emissions from UK shipping, while advocates urge for the integration of maritime nuclear solutions to achieve environmental targets.
