Title: REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE SAFETY OF NUCLEAR-POWERED MERCHANT SHIPS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4023883

Safety problems arising from nuclear propulsion in merchant ships at sea and in port were investigated. The studies were based on the assumption that nuclear-powered merchant ships will be designed as merchant ships with characteristics similar to those of conventional types. The study includes: recommendations on design and construction; operational requirements, including manning, equipment, and safety procedures; safety of navigation; operations in coastal waters and ports; disposal of radioactive waste; salvage of nuclear ships; international arrangements; and responsibilities of the government.
