Nuclear power-driven ships are becoming progressively more popular in advancing ship technology. Nuclear ships use naval reactors, which have lower fuel costs and last for many years and have almost zero emissions. The working of a Nuclear Ship is derived from the simple nuclear fission reaction. One more important factor that has spurred on the continuous investigates of nuclear power generation within ships is the irregular cost of flammable fuels. The unfavorable effects of burnt fuel being

... ispelled into the sea are also a concerning factor for green and sea life activists. Nuclear power applications have been limited due to safety concerns, but the new war against global warming is perched to drive its progress. In a span of a few years, safety risks may be minimized and nuclear power for power generation, in medicine and aboard ships and even in carsmay be the norm. The paper focuses the analysis of design for a nuclear-powered ship and the subsequent safety analysis of that ship in comparison with its fossil fuel ship. The final result of this paper shows that a suitable naval reactor for developing nuclear powered ship, while being technically feasible, will alternative to a fossil fuel powered ship.
