Made your reservation for the Houston Maritime Center & Museum Industry Lecture: Maritime & Offshore Nuclear Power, guest speaker Peter Wallace, Lloyd's Register. Nuclear applications in the civil marine and offshore environment have evolved over the last 12 months, and this presentation will delve into the large-scale interest that now exists in this area. Wallace will look forward on the challenges to come and see what to expect in the following 12 months across the domains of floating nuclear power, offshore nuclear, and ultimately the application of nuclear to shipping. Nuclear is emerging as a potential game-changer for the shipping and offshore industries. Nuclear-powered ships, while not a new concept, could offer a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional fuels.
