In light of the recent hype about Atomarine's floating LNG-powered* data center concept, here's a 2025 report on the challenges of nuclear marine applications via INL and the American Bureau of Shipping (vol. 5 in a series) https://www.osti.gov/biblio/3374531 [*] And nuclear, eventually, maybe.

Overcoming Challenges to Nuclear-Maritime Applications (Technical Report) | OSTI.GOV

This report is the fifth deliverable in a series of reports set forth by the Department of Energy (DOE), led by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), for the research award titled “Accelerating Commercial Maritime Demonstration Projects for Advanced Nuclear Reactor Technologies.” The report highlights guidance to bridge the gaps between innovative nuclear technologies and their practical implementation in maritime environments. The previous reports discussed specific technical, economic and regulatory challenges that may be expected when developing and establishing advanced nuclear technologies for commercial maritime applications. This report supports the mission of the U.S. National Reactor Innovation Center (NRIC) to demonstrate projects with industry and acts as a resource for the various stakeholders associated with the development of novel applications for advanced reactors. The previous reports discuss the interest in nuclear technology applications for decarbonized energy and identify the potential demands in nuclear energy supply and price. The work in these reports supports the recently issued nuclear Executive Orders (EOs). Specifically, EO 14299, “Deploying Advanced Nuclear Reactor Technologies for National Security”, and EO 14300, “Ordering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,” by ensuring the rapid development, deployment, and use of advanced nuclear technologies; and increasing the deployment of new nuclear reactor technologies, such as Generation III+ and IV reactors, modular reactors, and microreactors to support America leading the commercialization of affordable and abundant nuclear energy. | OSTI.GOV

I am the „big purchases require big screens“ kind of person and you will never find me buying something over 200 EUR on my phone. Sorry, but I am going to do an important transaction, I need to see everything create the feeling of control over the act of purchasing something.
