Mediterranean with Floating Nuclear Power Plants: Greece is Discussing It

The concept of moving nuclear energy to the open sea using floating platforms that operate as small nuclear power stations continues to gain momentum in the Mediterranean. In Greece, the Floating Nuclear Power Plant (FNPP) project has taken a major step forward. A high-level meeting held in Athens brought together leading companies and institutional stakeholders to explore the idea. The primary objective at this stage is to determine whether these offshore facilities can effectively address the energy-security needs of Greece’s islands and coastal communities.

The American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) is no stranger to the concept. As early as 2024, ABS published the most detailed technical guidelines ever produced for FNPPs. The report acknowledged that many advanced reactor designs suitable for floating platforms are still in early development, but it strongly endorsed the modular construction approach, which offers better cost control, operational flexibility, and the ability to scale power output to match the requirements of ports and coastal infrastructure.
