Requirements for Nuclear Power Systems for Marine and Offshore Applications
Year: 2024 Language: English Author: ABS Genre: Other Edition: October 2024 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 70 Description: This ABS Requirements for Nuclear Power Systems for Marine and Offshore Applications has been developed to provide requirements for design, construction, and survey for class review and approval of vessels having onboard nuclear power system installations. This document specifies ABS requirements for the mandatory notation Power Service (Nuclear) for nuclear power generation for purposes other than self-propulsion. For the purpose of this document, the term “vessel” includes ships, barges, offshore units, and installations. These requirements refer to technical requirements found in the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Chapter VIII: Nuclear Ships and Resolution A.491(XII) Code of Safety for Nuclear Merchant Ships 1981. It is to be noted that Resolution A.491(XII) is dated, with some content considered obsolete according to advances in nuclear technology applications. Resolution A.491(XII) applies to nuclear-powered vessels implementing pressurized water reactors (PWRs) for propulsion. ABS recognizes that the use of A.491(XII) for the design and construction of nuclear power service vessels is not appropriate.

Description: This ABS Requirements for Nuclear Power Systems for Marine and Offshore Applications has been
developed to provide requirements for design, construction, and survey for class review and approval of
vessels having onboard nuclear power system installations. This document specifies ABS requirements for
the mandatory notation Power Service (Nuclear) for nuclear power generation for purposes other than
self-propulsion. For the purpose of this document, the term “vessel” includes ships, barges, offshore units,
and installations.
These requirements refer to technical requirements found in the International Convention for the Safety of
Life at Sea (SOLAS) Chapter VIII: Nuclear Ships and Resolution A.491(XII) Code of Safety for Nuclear
