THE PROSPECT FOR A NUCLEAR POWERED DRY CARGO LINER WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THE ORGANIC MODERATED REACTOR

The features and problems governing the choice and installation of a marine reactor were studied. It was concluded that the organic moderated reactor appears to be suitable for application in dry cargo ships. A hypothetical comparison of the profit cargo on the assumed trade routes shows that nuclear ships are nearly as attractive commercially as conventional ships. (B.O.G.)
