The paper will discuss a study reflecting the changes in design and exploitation of an existing standard merchantman when the existing diesel propulsion plant is replaced by a gas turbine using a well-proven and inherently safe nuclear heat source. Subjects which will be discussed are: 1. why this study was done, 2. the NEREUS propulsion installation which is considered for this “replacement”, 3. the nuclear part and the non-nuclear part of the NEREUS installation, 4a. safety matters regarding the small-scale nuclear plant, 4b. safety matters regarding the nuclear propulsion plant (the maritime version), 5. fuel availability, 6. place of the nuclear propulsion plant in the ship in view of the weight, 7. required and no longer required auxiliary installations for the nuclear energy plant, 8. restrictions for ship operations, 9. manoeuvring, exploitation and manning of the ship, 10. logistic support of the installation.

This chapter draws attention to the concept of nuclear awareness that arose in the wake of the nuclear catastrophes. It highlights epistemic and political stakes: the almost unimaginable timetables of nuclear energy (extraction and waste) on one hand, and the threat of instantaneous destruction on the other. The chapter emphasizes nuclear awareness as a critical assertion of nuclear energy and its societal impact and as a trigger of critical thinking of nuclear technology, nuclear power production, nuclear agenda, as well as their challenges and opportunities involved. The chapter analyzes the tools of narrating the Chernobyl disaster in the contemporary nuclear fiction, regarded as a archive of the nuclear Anthropocene and a case of nuclear knowledge management.

The four articles in this “Catastrophic Asia” collection, while showcasing distinct disciplinary approaches to the subject of what anthropologist George E. Marcus (1994) might identify as “technopolitical” catastrophes, are united in the attempt to uncover the sociopolitical resonances of “manmade” damage in what we take to be regional Asia. In his bookTechnoscientific Imaginaries, Marcus recognizes that science is deeply political and already embedded in events. In this special section ofJAS, anthropologists join with scholars in the physical and natural sciences to apply this idea to catastrophic phenomena, continuing a transdisciplinary conversation that began in April 2014 at the Catastrophic Asia Symposium at the University of Colorado. Here, I contribute to this transdisciplinary enthusiasm by sharing with readers of an Asia-focused journal my own perspectives on catastrophe as a scholar of Brazil and a cultural anthropologist interested in medical anthropology and critical science studies. Specifically, I consider how experts working on issues related to the Angra dos Reis nuclear energy plant in Brazil—the site of my current research—viewed and discussed the Fukushima nuclear plant meltdown of 2011. By reading the current articles through the lens of my own research, I seek to situate catastrophe within a broader anthropological literature on environmental toxicity.

Humans have always been looking for sustainable renewable energy, whether from coal, natural gas, hydropower, nuclear energy, solar energy, wind energy, solar thermal energy, hydrogen energy, etc., each energy has its advantages and disadvantages! 2019 Kuang et al. published "Solar-driven, highly sustained splitting of seawater into hydrogen and oxygen fuels" this paper has given the author a great level of research interest in this topic! The researcher tried to explore the challenges and opportunities that this method actually applied to mass production by thinking about various angles.

We performed a steady state high-yielding depolymerization of soluble acetal-stabilized lignin in flow, which offered a window into challenges and opportunities that will be faced when continuously processing this feedstock.
