Nuclear power as an alternative fuel for maritime is gaining serious momentum as a pathway to zero emissions for the industry.

One of those at the vanguard of trying to commericalise nuclear for shipping has been Mikal Boe, CEO of Core Power, a company he founded in 2018.

It is over three years ago since Mikal last appeared on the Seatrade Maritime Podcast and things have clearly moved on a long way in that time.

“I ​think the ​biggest ​milestone ​over ​the ​last ​three ​year has been ​the ​insertion ​of ​nuclear ​into ​the ​agenda ​at ​the ​IMO. ​It's ​not ​quite ​there ​yet, ​but ​it ​is ​working ​its ​way ​through ​the ​system ​and ​we ​believe ​in ​2025, ​become ​part ​of ​the ​work ​stream ​at ​the ​IMO, ​and ​similarly ​at ​the ​International ​Atomic ​Energy ​Agency ​in ​Vienna we've ​now ​got ​maritime ​ ​firmly ​on ​the ​agenda. ​So ​that ​aligns ​the ​two ​big ​standards, organisations ​for ​maritime ​and ​nuclear, ​around ​this ​topic ​of ​putting ​this ​at ​sea ​in ​a ​safe ​way,” Mikal tells the podcast.

In a conversation with Marcus Hand, Editor of Seatrade Maritime News, Mikal you will hear about:

  • Public perception and regulatory challenges
  • The progress on a test reactor project in the US
  • Industry partnerships and future developments
  • Floating nuclear power and green fuels
  • A potential timeline for nuclear-powered ships
