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.

Microreactors will be utilizing new modeling and simulation tools that are based on multi physics and these tools will need to be utilized for both design and operational support. We'll be discussing on this panel about how these new generation light-weight systems should be developed and what kinds of business-model innovation will be needed to be able to support the next wave of micro reactors.
