Securing the radiological safety of people and the environment at all stages of the life cycle of floating nuclear heat-and-power plants

  • Published:
Atomic Energy Aims and scope

A floating nuclear heat-and-power plant utilizes atomic energy to supply heat and electricity in remote coastal territories. The danger for people and the environment together with cost-effectiveness will be the decisive factors in choosing such a plant as a source of energy. Validation is given for the need to develop the concept of human and environmental safety security for future, serially produced, floating nuclear heatand-power plants.
