    Going critical 1: the story of commercial maritime nuclear
    Feb 24 2026

    Interest in using nuclear power in shipping has exploded.

    Whether it is on the argument that there is a need for energy security, clean power or potentially cheaper power, many countries are developing national nuclear programmes.

    In this first of two episodes, Craig Eason examines the latest developments by talking to start-ups developing new nuclear reactors and why they eye shipping as a market and how projects are identifying potential ship types and routes to create so-called pink corridors.

    The episode also begins examining how nuclear fuel be handled safely and securely.
