Plans for the development of a nuclear-powered merchant ship in Britain are discussed. Both boiling-water and pressurized-water reactors were considered and the designs are described. Objections to the package reactor concept, comments on the brittleness of irradiated steel, and questions on the possibility of salt water getting into the reactor system are answered. Economic issues are also reviewed. (M.C.G.)
