[en] The Australian Government requires that an environmental radiation monitoring program be carried out in association with visits of nuclear ships to Australian ports. The objectives and requirements of the program are summarised and the results of the marine environmental sampling program undertaken at berths are presented, together with radiation measurements taken during visits. During 1980, no releases of radioactive material were detected, nor were any radiation measurements recorded in excess of natural background levels

[en] The National Radiation Laboratory of the Department of Health is required under NZAEC Report 500 'New Zealand Code for Nuclear Powered Shipping' (June 1976) to monitor for release of radioactivity during the stay of such a ship in a New Zealand port and to provide technical assistance to Civil Defence organisations charged with dealing with any emergency arising from an accidental release of radioactive materials. This report outlines the activities undertaken for the two visits which took place in 1976

[en] Sixty three papers were presented at the conference, and sixty two of them were abstracted and indexed for INIS. The main items were: the safety philosophy for nuclear ship, the nuclear propulsion system, licensing, port entry, legal and administrative aspects, research and development, operating experience including environmental aspects, and nuclear ship manning

[en] The major design concepts and basic characteristics of the Soviet KIROV Class ship, an impressive nuclear-powered Strike Cruiser which recently appeared while undergoing sea trials in the Baltic Sea and the North Sea, are discussed. Highlights are presented of the KIROV's hull form, the weapons, electronics and aviation systems, machinery, as well as the cruiser's speed and range

[en] Full text: The presence of a nuclear submarine in port involves a radiological risk which requires to be taken into account appropriately. The implementation of radiological monitoring and prevention measures are basic requisites to assure this visit being reasonably safer. In normal condition, the radiological monitoring of some marine environmental samples are necessary to be performed before the arrival and during the staying and after the departure of the nuclear ship. In the other side, prevention measures involve the preparedness of local contingency plans to protect the people in the port in any nuclear accidental event. The plan is designed by assuming an accident where 10% of core inventory of a 30 MW(e) nuclear power reactor are released to environment. The plan basically takes into account immediate measures inside a zone of 2,5 km around the submarine - from the normal place for anchor - being some of them the clearing of the zone from ships and people and taking the damaged submarine out at sea in order to reduce the scope of possible emissions. Likewise, previsions are made for protecting people up to 10 km in the coast. All these measures are performed by an organization commanded by the Port Captain and supported by other state institutions in land. (orig.)

[en] Nuclear power has been introduced as a propulsion plant for ships. The utilization and application of nuclear power plants on board ship brings up a series of technical, safety and economical questions. The technical solutions are demonstrated by the nuclear propelled container vessel NCS-80 with a reactor system of the EFDR-type which is now in the licensing procedure
