Core Power (US) Inc, has enlisted Seattle-based naval architecture and marine engineering firm Glosten to help its team design a floating nuclear power plant (FNPP) to power ports in the United States.
Created by Core Power, the FNPP concept is a nearshore infrastructure system that includes a barge-based nuclear power plant, barge support services, electrical grid integration, and operational teams. Easy to transport and rapidly deploy, the FNPP will provide an estimated 175 GWh of clean electricity per year. The FNPP connection will allow ports to achieve zero-emissions electrical generation for visiting ships, terminal cranes and equipment, and port vehicles.
Core Power engaged Glosten to develop the operational concept and design the floating facility for the FNPP. Glosten will also establish a regulatory path for the barge, navigate site location approvals, and identify a potential supply chain network for the FNPP’s fabrication, assembly, integration,
