One of America's busiest ports is looking to use nuclear power for power. The Port of Long Beach signed an agreement with federal regulators this week to explore the construction of a small nuclear reactor to power this energy-intensive port. This is one of the Trump administration's most important moves to date to push for the introduction of nuclear energy into the shipping industry. The plan is still in its early stages and may not necessarily be implemented in the end. But if it comes true, the Port of Long Beach will become the first port in the world to be powered by nuclear energy. The next frontier may be building nuclear-powered ships at US shipyards. This is another goal of the current administration as it seeks to revive the declining domestic shipbuilding industry.
