Abstract:
The Nordic countries are surrounded by large ocean areas where there is frequent traffic of foreign nuclear-powered vessels, both naval and civilian. Increased activity of these vessels in the High North, new emerging technologies and designs, and experience from events have given a need for updating existing information, exchange views and discuss credible release scenarios for nuclear-powered vessels operating in Nordic waters. In that regard, the NKS-B CRESCENT project facilitated two workshops held with NKS funding – one in Asker, Norway, 5-6 October 2021 and one in Reykjavik, Iceland, 8-9 June 2022.
