On The Bridge with NOxFree, Nuclear Propulsion Panel Part 1

On this special two part episode of On The Bridge, Alicia sits down with a powerhouse panel to discuss the future of maritime energy. Join Derek Munro (co-founder of NOxFree), Ben Geary (chief operating officer of Döhle) and Jez Sims (principal specialist at Lloyd's Register) as they explore the groundbreaking NOxFree Project. "You will never have to bunker fuel again." For decades, the idea of nuclear-powered superyachts has lived firmly in the realm of science fiction. However, a quiet engineering revolution is taking place that could see a zero-emission, fossil-fuel-free vessel hitting the water by 2030. From debunking the stigma around nuclear power to creating more space onboard by removing a diesel tank, this episode covers: ● The role of NOxFree and the development of nuclear propulsion concepts ● What “unity modules” are and how they work ● Public perception and misconceptions around nuclear energy ● Why yachting could become the proving ground for future maritime technology ● The commercial and economic arguments for nuclear adoption Chapters: 00:00 – Introductions 00:51 – How did the NOxFree nuclear yacht project begin? 03:42 – What is a nuclear “unity module” and how does it work? 06:04 – Why could nuclear energy transform modern yachting? 10:47 – How would nuclear propulsion change yacht design and operations? 16:00 – What regulations and safety challenges still need solving? 20:35 – How safe is modern nuclear technology really? 27:08 – What role does Lloyd's Register play in nuclear-powered vessels? 31:02 – Could nuclear propulsion change the future of global shipping? 42:35 – What is the biggest barrier to nuclear-powered yachts becoming reality?
