US-UK firms join hands to build floating nuclear power plants using microreactors


Floating nuclear power plants will allow operators to deploy microreactors to areas that would otherwise be underserved.

This technology improves reliability and enables a non-pressurized method for passively transferring heat from the nuclear core to a power conversion system. “We look forward to our partnership with CORE POWER, bringing the unique advantages of eVinci microreactors to maritime and coastal applications, potentially even paving the way for future disaster relief efforts.” ABOUT THE EDITOR Chris Young Chris Young is a journalist, copywriter, blogger and tech geek at heart who’s reported on the likes of the Mobile World Congress, written for Lifehack, The Culture Trip, Flydoscope and some of the world’s biggest tech companies, including NEC and Thales, about robots, satellites and other world-changing innovations.
