CORE POWER and Port of Corpus Christi to Study Maritime Nuclear Readiness

CORE POWER and the Port of Corpus Christi Authority (PCCA) have signed a Memorandum of Collaboration to study maritime nuclear readiness at the Port of Corpus Christi. The site-specific work will assess how the major U.S. energy and trade gateway could prepare for two potential future roles: hosting a floating nuclear power plant (FNPP) that could supply firm power for port and regional demand, and serving as a gateway for calls by nuclear-powered commercial ships. The effort is intended to create a practical evidence base on how ship-based power and next-generation shipping technologies could support regional growth, energy resilience, and long-term competitiveness.
