The World Nuclear Transport Institute (WNTI) and the Nuclear Energy Maritime Organisation (Nemo) have signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly help shape the future of nuclear-powered shipping and transportable nuclear power plants.
The partnership aims to champion the development of international standards for both the transport of nuclear and radioactive materials and the use of nuclear energy at sea or in remote deployment locations.
Under the MoU, WNTI will focus on the transport of nuclear materials and transportable nuclear power plants. Nemo will lead on issues related to nuclear-powered and propelled ships, including regulation, design, and operations.
For floating nuclear power plants, both organisations will work side by side.
