PROGRAM

Port of Corpus Christi

We are working with the Port of Corpus Christi to assess maritime nuclear readiness, covering potential floating nuclear power generation and future visits by nuclear-powered commercial ships.

The Agreement

Our Memorandum of Collaboration establishes a framework for a maritime nuclear readiness study at the Port of Corpus Christi.

The study examines the technical, regulatory, environmental, and operating requirements for two distinct applications: supplying electricity to port and regional customers and receiving nuclear-powered commercial ships.

Areas of Collaboration

Floating nuclear power

Assessing how a floating nuclear power plant could serve port operations, nearby industry, or regional electricity demand.

The work considers potential locations, marine conditions, mooring, electricity connections, customer requirements, and the arrangements needed for safe operation and lifecycle support.

Explore energy

Nuclear-powered ship visits

Assessing what the port would need to receive nuclear-powered commercial ships.

The work considers vessel access, transit and berthing, cargo operations, safety and security, emergency preparedness, and coordination between maritime and nuclear authorities.

Explore propulsion

Agreement Status

Signed August 2026

The agreement establishes preliminary feasibility work. It does not select a site or reactor, commit investment, or authorize construction, deployment, or vessel calls. It also does not designate Corpus Christi as the location of CORE POWER’s planned U.S. shipyard.

This collaboration is separate from CORE POWER’s Memorandum of Cooperation with the Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration, which addresses the wider conditions for future U.S.-flagged nuclear-powered commercial shipping.

PARTNERSHIPS

Work with us

We work with energy producers, maritime operators, industrial partners and infrastructure developers to accelerate the deployment of advanced nuclear technologies for both power generation and propulsion, enabling abundant, reliable and zero-carbon energy across land and sea.
