SAFETY ASPECTS OF NUCLEAR MERCHANT SHIPS

The safety equipment of a nuclear merchant ship is, to a great extent, determined by assumed reactor and ship accidents. Examples of measures to cope with such accidents and to prevent undue environmental impact from abnormal ship operation are cited. The discussion is based upon the recent design of the Nuclear Container Ship NCS 80 carried out by the Gesellschaft fuer Kernenergieverwertung in Schiffbau und Schiffahrt mbH (GKSS) and the industrial consortium INTERATOM/BREMER VULKAN.
