Short description
Nuclear propulsion uses energy released from nuclear fuel to generate heat and power. It produces no CO₂ emissions during operation but requires specialized technology and regulation.
What it includes
- Nuclear reactor systems
- Steam or electric propulsion systems
- Strict safety, security, and regulatory frameworks
Why it matters
Nuclear energy enables long-range, low-emission operation without refuelling.
