CONSIDERATION OF SAFETY IN NUCLEAR MERCHANT SHIPS

Journal Article · · J. Joint Panel Nuclear Marine Propulsion
OSTI ID:4248194
Although safety considerations cannot be restricted to the reactor, design aspects of the nuclear power plant and its effect upon the ship are discussed primarily. The ship is considered as an operating unit and its design and operation reflects a general upgrading with respect to collision and fire resistance, waste handling, navigation and communication equipment, auxiliary power, and maintenance. A brief description of the N.S. Savannah is given and safety measures are discussed in detail. (W.D.M.)
