The UK has launched the Maritime Nuclear Consortium, led by Lloyd's Register, to develop nuclear-powered ships aimed at achieving a net-zero economy. This initiative brings together stakeholders from various sectors to establish international safety standards and seeks to secure a Statement of Design Acceptability for advanced modular reactors, which will allow ships to operate for extended periods without refueling. The consortium aims to enhance the UK's leadership in maritime innovation while creating high-skilled jobs and a robust supply chain in nuclear shipping.
