The objective of this panel is to spark a conversation on how ANS and the nuclear industry can promote and progress the use of nuclear energy for decarbonizing the commercial maritime industry. The panelists will lay out the current state, use cases, motivation, and challenges of civil marine nuclear deployment from the perspectives of reactor design & manufacturing, nuclear and maritime regulation, operator training, and end users & stakeholders. Panelists will focus on gaps in implementation plans to drive discussion of where ANS and its members could most effectively participate; for example, leading public education or other civil or government stakeholder engagement, or convening a related working group.
