Offshore Nuclear Power

The future of nuclear energy is offshore, where nuclear energy becomes even safer, cheaper, and is in no one's backyard. When nuclear energy is used in symbiosis with offshore wind, the grid connection can be most efficiently used. When there's no wind, the energy can be used to optimize grid connection usage. When there's a lot of wind, energy-intensive industries, such as training AI models, can be powered by nuclear reactors at the offshore site to satisfy energy and cooling demands. In this way, scarce onshore space can be reserved for nature and healthy living space.

Offshore nuclear · Starting in the Netherlands

Reliable power for a fossil-free future.

MarineFission is exploring how offshore nuclear power could provide reliable, low-carbon electricity and expand the locations available for new nuclear generation.

An early-stage ambition. A concrete next step.

The opportunity

More reliable electricity.
More places to develop it.

Europe’s digital economy and the transition away from fossil fuels require additional low-carbon generation. Meeting that need also means finding suitable locations.

01 / POWER

Support a fossil-free energy system

AI, computing and digital infrastructure need electricity around the clock. Nuclear generation can complement wind and solar, contributing sustained production to a reliable, low-carbon energy system.

02 / PLACE

Expand the options for nuclear siting

Finding and securing suitable nuclear sites in the Netherlands is difficult. We investigate whether offshore locations could enable projects that would be difficult to accommodate on land.

MarineFission’s role

Bringing the project together.

Our ambition is to become a developer, integrator and co-owner of offshore nuclear power projects. We intend to lead the work that connects a viable concept with a site, customers, delivery partners and long-term capital.

ORIGINATE

Define the opportunity

Assess concepts, identify potential sites and develop customer relationships around a specific project’s needs.

INTEGRATE

Assemble the capabilities

Select appropriate technologies and partners, assess their compatibility, and coordinate the interfaces between them.

ADVANCE

Build the investment case

Bring together the delivery consortium and the evidence needed for staged development and an eventual investment decision.

MarineFission aims to retain an ownership stake in individual projects alongside long-term capital partners. Its value would come from originating and advancing projects, managing integration and bringing the necessary parties together.

Our approach

Established capabilities.
Disciplined integration.

Nuclear technology, offshore engineering, marine construction and electricity infrastructure each have substantial experience behind them. Our focus is on bringing those capabilities together in a deliverable project.

Established components do not automatically make a new combination proven. Independent assessment is central to building the evidence for responsible delivery.
MarineFissionProject development, partner coordination and integration.
Reactor vendorsSupply the nuclear technology.
Offshore contractorsDeliver the marine infrastructure.
Nuclear operatorsOperate the plants with the required experience and capabilities.

These are intended project roles. Vendor participation and the delivery consortium remain to be established.

The physical configuration remains open. Fixed platforms, gravity-based structures and other marine concepts will be compared against site conditions, reactor requirements, construction methods and lifetime costs.

Customers & demand

Power for Europe’s digital economy—and beyond.

Datacentres are a priority customer group because of their substantial, sustained electricity demand. They are prospective customers and potential strategic development partners.

The initial concept does not require datacentres themselves to be offshore. Industrial customers and the wider electricity system may also form part of a project’s commercial case.

Development

Current stage: early development

Build the evidence.
Advance in clear stages.

Initial computational work has explored structural behaviour, fatigue, cooling and operational scenarios. It provides a foundation for further investigation and independent review.

What remains to be established

Site selection, vendor participation, licensing, construction feasibility and project economics. Cost, delivery dates and technical feasibility will depend on the results of that work.

The first development programme

01

Build a focused team

Secure strategic support for a small, strong team with the capabilities to advance the opportunity.

02

Assess the concepts independently

Test the technical and commercial assumptions and compare suitable marine configurations.

03

Develop a specific project

Progress site, customer and delivery-consortium work in parallel.

04

Make evidence-based decisions

Agree development stages, evidence requirements and investment decisions. Construction financing would follow as a subsequent step.

Behind MarineFission

Building the team
for the next stage.

Ime Meulenbelt

MarineFission is currently a solo initiative led by Ime Meulenbelt. The next development programme would build a focused team and bring in specialist partners and independent expertise across the project.

Become a development partner

Help shape the next chapter of offshore nuclear power.

We are seeking a strategic partner, or a small group of partners, to fund and shape a coherent development programme—building the team, independently assessing the concepts and advancing towards a specific project.

Start a conversation

A substantial ambition.
A concrete first commitment.

We welcome discussions with prospective customers, industrial partners and long-term capital providers about the first development stages.

Your details will be used to respond to your enquiry.
