Abstract
En 中文
As global efforts toward carbon neutrality accelerate, nuclear-powered ships are emerging as a next-generation eco-friendly maritime technology. However, marine nuclear systems differ from land-based reactors in that they are subject to both the Maritime Safety Act and the Nuclear Safety Act. This dual regulatory structure requires additional safety measures that reflect the unique operational conditions of the marine environment. This study compares and analyzes domestic and international safety regulations in the maritime and nuclear fields to identify the specific characteristics and safety requirements of marine nuclear systems. Based on these findings, the study proposes a set of safety design guidelines that can be applied to reactor design and licensing processes. These guidelines aim to support the safe implementation of marine nuclear technology under complex regulatory conditions.
