20 System level options Super-system level Hydrogen for ship power generated by nuclear Modular nuclear powered tug boat or power box Nuclear reactor in ship on existing routes Operation between new terminals System level

21 A Super-System Concept 21 Unload cargo at off-shore terminal to remove the need for nuclear port access Unload cargo at specific nuclear port away from populated areas Supply electricity to the grid when in port or for disaster relief

22 System level options Super-system level Proliferation resistance Hydrogen for ship power generated by nuclear System level Modular nuclear powered tug boat or power box Nuclear reactor in ship on existing routes Operation between new terminals Piracy resistance Grounding protection Collision protection Bulk carriers Oil tankers LNG / LPG vessels Programme risk Refuelling philosophy Sub - system level: power generation Pressurised water reactors Gas cooled reactors Liquid metal reactors Spent fuel storage Nuclear regulation
