First of all, I want to thank Almighty Allah for bestowing gifts on me, but more
importantly for blessing us with such a wondrous nature, full of surprises and
opportunities.
I would like to thank my thesis supervisor, Dr. Md. Reaz Hasan Khondoker, PEng.,
Professor ofNaval Architecture and Marine Engineering Department, Military Institute
of Science and Technology for his patience, guidance, advice, support and leading me
on this adventure. I would also like to thank my thesis co-supervisor, Dr. Ruhul Amin
Khan, Director and Chief Scientific Officer of Institute of Radiation and Polymer
Technology, Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission, Savar, Dhaka for his enthusiasm
to support me to achieve my academic goals.
I would like to express deep gratitude to Head of Nuclear Science and Engineering
Department for his insightful criticisms, constant availability, insights into all facets of
the research, and creation of a nurturing environment for me since my arrival at the
Military Institute of Science and Technology.
I am grateful to my parents for their support and affection. I would like to express my
gratitude to my wife, Ms. Nargis Akter, for her continuous support.
Finally, thanks to the faculty members, staff and friends of Nuclear and Science
Engineering Department, Military Institute of Science and Technology for making my
time there a greatly rewarding one. I wish to thank Military Institute of Science and
Technology for the valuable opportunity to perform this research. |

The development of alternate sources of propulsion power is necessary because of the
increasing demand for electricity, environmental concerns, the strain on fossil fuels, as
well as pollution prevention and carbon emission control. Hence, in order to optimize
propulsion power, it is decided in this study aims to present a nuclear naval small
modular reactor in an existing merchant ship. The main idea is to reconsider whether
nuclear propulsion is appropriate for merchant ships. Finally, the operational
economics of nuclear ships have been compared to those of diesel ships. After a
comparison of the available nuclear reactors, the KLT-40S small modular reactor is
chosen due to its smaller size, lower power, and higher safety standards. Criticality
analysis of the MONK simulation findings indicates that the KLT-40S reactor core is
capable of operating for a 10-year period without refueling. The crews' necessary safety
needs have been the subject of safety analysis, and additional safety measures for the
marine nuclear environment have been recommended. Based on Rad Pro simulations,
a plausible shield's safety design is proposed. In this study, it is found that a reactor
shield made of 100 cm of polyethylene and 30 cm of lead worked better than steel at
limiting radiation rates to 1 mSv/h. A performance evaluation tools model, which
permits comparison of the nuclear commercial ship to a ship fueled by diesel, is used
to examine the economic viability of the vessel. Finally, it can be concluded that, even
with conservative assumptions about a high fuel price and capital cost, a nuclearpowered ship is a workable substitute for a diesel ship throughout the course of the
ship's lifetime. |
