ALTERNATIVE FUELS & LUBRICANTS

ALTERNATIVE FUELS & LUBRICANTS

Commercial nuclear propulsion is no longer a pipedream. The combination of high-assay fuel availability, microreactor engineering, and closed-cycle fuel chemistry has produced a new generation of small modular reactors designed specifically for merchant hulls.
