Significant Trends Influencing the Floating Nuclear Power Plant Market
Leading companies in this market are concentrating on technological advancements such as innovative fission technologies to enhance efficiency, safety, and long-term sustainability. Fission technologies involve nuclear processes that split the nuclei of heavy atoms like uranium or thorium, generating substantial heat that can be converted into electricity.
For example, in February 2025, Core Power (UK) Ltd. launched the Liberty program, a US-anchored maritime civil nuclear initiative focused on mass-producing floating nuclear power plants by the mid-2030s. This program uses advanced fission technologies and modular shipyard construction methods. It also aims to establish an export-controlled technology framework to protect intellectual property and advancements in maritime nuclear energy, ensuring stewardship by the U.S. and its allies. A core objective is the development and deployment of marine molten salt reactors (m-MSRs), which provide a clean and dependable energy source for next-generation commercial ships.
