After-Pop! A Brief Break Down of Nuclear Commercial Shipping

In this After-Pop!, host Danielle explores the rise of commercial nuclear propulsion and how companies like CORE Power are reimagining the future of maritime shipping. Unlike military nuclear propulsion systems, these next-gen commercial systems are designed to be safe, scalable, and fully integrated with international safeguards.

This episode covers:

The technical differences between military nuclear propulsion and commercial nuclear electric propulsion
Why advanced reactors like molten salt designs are ideal for maritime applications
What Emergency Planning Zones (EPZs) are and how they apply to floating reactors
The roles of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
Why the first nuclear-powered trade routes will likely be limited to specific corridors
