Introduction

Maritime nuclear is creating opportunities across both the energy and shipping sectors. From providing reliable clean electricity through floating nuclear power plants (FNPPs) to transforming the operational capabilities of commercial vessels through nuclear propulsion, the technology has the potential to support two complementary markets.

This session from the CORE POWER London Summit 2026 explores how these use cases intersect and why they are increasingly being considered within broader discussions around energy security, industrial resilience and the future of global shipping.

Session Overview

Rather than viewing maritime nuclear as a single application, this session examines its potential across two distinct but interconnected areas: power generation and propulsion.

The discussion begins with keynote addresses from Admiral (Ret.) John Richardson and Rt. Hon. Anne-Marie Trevelyan before moving into a Q&A exploring how floating nuclear power plants could deliver reliable, low-carbon electricity to ports, coastal infrastructure and energy-intensive industries, while nuclear propulsion could reshape the economics, endurance and operational flexibility of commercial shipping.

Together, these complementary applications demonstrate how maritime nuclear can bridge the energy and maritime sectors while supporting wider ambitions around energy security, industrial competitiveness and resilient infrastructure.
