Introduction
China is developing a container ship with a next-generation nuclear power plant. The impetus for nuclear power in China is due to air pollution from coal-fired plants, as well as climate commitments and energy security. China has become largely self-sufficient in reactor design and construction, but is making full use of. The reactor is one of several advanced non‑water reactor concepts proposed for future marine use. The vessel, designed to carry 14,000 standard containers, will be powered by a thorium-based molten salt reactor (TMSR) producing 200 megawatts of thermal power, the same level as the reactors.
