Task force charts growing interest in civilian maritime nuclear applications
Readers of Nuclear News will have heard of historical applications of civilian maritime nuclear power, like the merchant ship NS Savannah and the USS Sturgis floating power plant. With a few exceptions there has been little action in this area for over 50 years, and there are plenty of reasons and opinions as to why, but over the last few years the dramatic increase in interest from the maritime industry and its stakeholders has been undeniable.

The ANS-8 Forum allows the Nuclear Criticality Safety (NCS) community to learn about the consensus standards that are under development and what kinds of work items are being considered by the ANS-8 Subcommittee. ANS-8 working groups will also provide discussions about working group tasks and opportunities for stakeholders and volunteers to learn more about ANS-8 standards. Students and early-career individuals interested in standards are welcome to participate.
