LITERATURE SURVEY ON NUCLEAR POWERED MERCHANT SHIP OPERATIONS

This report constitutes one of a series of basic studies performed to determine the present status of the application of nuclear energy to commercial shipping and to define the areas, timing, and degree of effort for future work. Literature material for each operational problem area associated with the operation of commercial nuclear powered ships was reviewed and a summarization is presented, along with conclusions and recommendations for each problem area. The sources of information, material, data, and literature directly or indirectly applicable to the problem areas designated for this survey are provided.
