Why Offshore?
The advantages of offshore nuclear
Explore how offshore nuclear power improves on conventional nuclear power.
Far Away
Instead of placing reactors near living area, offshore reactors ensure put the reactor far from everyones backyard such that scarce land space can be used for nature and living.
Safer
Due to infinite cooling water available offshore, cooling of the reactor can be even better ensured, essentially eliminating the possibility of a meltdown. Besides this, offshore tsunami’s are not a problem.
Cheaper
Offshore nuclear power is cheaper because the largest part of the reactor can be produced in a central location and shipped afterwards, due to which a lot can be standardised.
Scalable
More reactors can be build using exactly the same design. They can be shipped from one central production facility to the eventual location
How Our Hybrid Technology Works
At MarineFission, our approach to sustainable energy production hinges on the symbiotic relationship between offshore wind turbines and nuclear reactors.
Consistent Energy Output
Our offshore reactors will be strategically placed within wind farms such that grid connection is optimally used.
Load Following
This dynamic adjustment ensures a consistent energy supply, minimising fluctuations and enhancing grid stability.
Excess Energy Utilisation
When wind conditions are optimal and energy production exceeds demand, the surplus can be used to train AI models, generate hydrogen or simply stored in heat storage.
Advanced Safety and Efficiency
The ocean’s vast cooling capacity enhances the safety of our reactors.
About us
At Marine Fission, we are pioneering the integration of offshore nuclear power with offshore wind farms to create a sustainable and reliable energy future. This innovative hybrid approach leverages the strengths of both energy sources to provide a consistent, efficient, and environmentally friendly power supply.
Our offshore nuclear plants complement the variable output of wind farms, ensuring a steady energy supply even when the wind isn’t blowing. By sharing transmission infrastructure, we optimize resource use and reduce operational costs. This synergy enhances energy security and reduces reliance on a single energy source.
