James J. Byrne (Byrne & Associates, LLC)
Session Organizer:
This Future of Nuclear Maritime Propulsion panel is the final in a series of sessions sponsored by DESD and OPD. At the 2021 Annual Meeting, we looked at the history of non-naval nuclear power. At the 2021 Winter Meeting, we discussed the decommissioning of the NS Savannah, including a virtual tour of the ship. At this meeting we will look at the potential future of non-naval nuclear propulsion and floating offshore nuclear power generation and its opportunities and challenges. Recent Department of Energy grants have spurred interest in this subject. These grants and other opportunities will also be discussed during this session.
