MIT researchers are currently developing a design for a coastal floating nuclear power plant that will be built at a shipyard and then moored offshore, about 8-10 miles
offshore.
This will keep the plants within territorial waters, but they can be placed in seawater deep enough to withstand tsunamis
.
MIT says tsunamis capable of causing potential disasters to coastal floating nuclear power plants will not occur in deep water, they will only create danger
in shallow water environments.
The MIT researchers also noted that the installation platform for offshore floating nuclear power plants will be made of steel and will not require the bulky concrete containment
vessel necessary for onshore reactors in populated areas.
Building floating nuclear power plants in shipyards has the following advantages: nuclear power plants are built in shipyards and can be towed back to the shipyard for decommissioning
when they reach the end of their operational life.
Shipyards can also facilitate engineering because they have built the world's largest ships, including powered submarines and aircraft carriers
.
According to MIT, nuclear reactors (300MW or 1100MW units) and their associated safety systems are located in watertight compartments in the lower part of the structure to enhance security and safety, make seawater more accessible, and make the entire floating nuclear power plant structure lower and more stable
.
The core and associated critical components are located in the
pressure vessel.
Around the pressure vessel (but separated by a distance) is a large cavity extending to the edge of the cylindrical structure, filled with seawater, freely entering and exiting
through the nozzle.
