On April 22, 1959, Rear Admiral George J. King, superintendent of the Maine Maritime Academy, announced that following the completion of the 1960 training cruise, cadets would begin the study of nuclear engineering. Courses at that time included radiation physics, reactor control and instrumentation, reactor theory and engineering, thermodynamics, shielding, core design, reactor maintenance, and nuclear aspects.

Offshore and floating nuclear power plants are being considered a viable clean energy option for providing reliable power at sea, with the prospects of providing even faster voyages.
However, marine transport and nuclear energy both have their own unique security challenges that are systematically addressed by various international and country-specific standards, as well as, regulatory frameworks.
Join NNPD for this webinar on security-by-design, material controls, physical protection, and other nuclear security relevant topics for offshore and floating nuclear power plants.
