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.

Join the editorial team behind Nuclear News for an open roundtable discussion about how stories are sourced, selected, and developed for the magazine. Writers will share their process for identifying timely and relevant content—from scanning headlines to deep-diving into technical topics—and how they work to balance coverage across industry sectors and interest areas.
This interactive session will include real-time polling to allow the audience a chance to weigh in: What topics do you want to see more of in Nuclear News? Bring your ideas, questions, and curiosity for a candid conversation with the people behind the pages.
