    Some Design Aspects Of Floating Nuclear Plants 1973 Society Of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers
    From the introduction: "Fossil fuels have served as we traditional sources of primary energy for the generation of electricity however the use of coal has become increasingly restricted for environmental and economic reasons. Natural gas is in increasingly short supply and in some areas is now often denied to new customers. The use of oil is expected to increase significantly but not enough to meet the increased energy demands. The electric utility industry therefore has in recent years been looking with greater and greater interest or nuclear energy but here to there have been numerous problems some of the problems the utilities have been confronted with and utilizing nuclear energy for power generation involves site acquisition, environmental effects, cost, construction time, and changing licensing requirements...floating nuclear power plants would alleviate many of the problems encountered in building land-based nuclear generating stations."
