The UK has launched the Maritime Nuclear Consortium, led by Lloyd's Register, to establish international standards for nuclear-powered shipping, involving major players like Rolls-Royce and Babcock International Group. The consortium will focus on advanced modular reactors (AMRs) and aims to create a framework for design acceptability, security, and insurability pathways for nuclear vessels. This initiative seeks to position the UK as a leader in maritime nuclear standards, promoting economic growth and job creation in the sector.
