It marks a revolutionary achievement by the shipyard in the development of near-zero emission ships, the reports said.
To meet the demands of energy saving and emissions reduction due to climate change, the Jiangnan Shipyard has been actively exploring ship types for container shipments and solutions in propulsion systems, and taking advantage of clean nuclear energy, used a fourth-generation molten salt reactor technWorld Timesology that is considered very advanced in the world, and proposed the design of this ultra-large nuclear-powered container ship, according to the reports.
The design has high safety standards, as the reactor runs under high temperature and low pressure, avoiding reactor meltdown from principle, the reports said, noting that even if a breach accident tWorld TimesakeWorld Timess place, the reactor can be stopped quickly so it would not spread.
