Types of merchant vessel that require relatively large propulsive power and high utilization at sea, are big tankers, large passenger and fast dry cargo ships, and containerships – the most recent addition to this category.
Vickers Limited, in conjunction with the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority has completed design studies on the application of nuclear power to all these types of vessels, but although such studies provide valuable data, it was not, until recently, possible to show that nuclear propulsion was an economic concept.
