Description
Summary:Object and purpose of research. This paper studies nuclear power plants of advanced civil marine technology. The purpose of the work is to suggest concepts of nuclear power plants for new icebreakers, Arctic ships and floating power stations. Materials and methods. Analysis of marine nuclear power plants, their evolution and performance parameters, cost assessment methods for marine nuclear power plants. Main results. This paper compares different options for nuclear power plants suggested for advanced civil marine technology. Conclusion. This paper suggests possible concepts of nuclear power plants for new icebreakers, Arctic ships and floating power plants based on evolution analysis of marine nuclear power systems and technical requirements to reactors and steam turbines taking into account their cost efficiency.
