OSTI ID:4724123
The advantages and disadvantages of the nuclear propulsion of ships are considered both for naval and maritime purposes. The increased range of nuclear ships justifies their use in both submarine and surface naval vessels. However, the economic problems are of importance for merchant ships. The conditions to be realized before the application of nuclear energy to merchart vessels are tabulated. The advartages of nuclear propulsion are indicated, and the different types of reactors proposed for this purpose are considered. The possible future of nuclear propulsion for ships is reviewed.
