Earth 300 is a 984-foot nuclear-powered superyacht designed by entrepreneur Aaron Oliveras to host scientific research on the high seas. The mega yacht houses 22 state-of-the-art science labs in a 13-story Science Sphere and will host 160 of the world’s leading scientists. The yacht is powered by a Molten Salt Reactor, a new type of nuclear power that is 100% emission-free. With room for 22 laboratories, 160 scientists, and 20 students, Earth 300 could potentially be the greenest superyacht ever built.
The maritime industry is exploring whether nuclear fuel can be used to power commercial ships as advancements in technology open up such options. The only privately owned nuclear-powered warships are the SS Savannah, a freighter, and the SS Savannah. The new superyacht, called Earth 300, is free for scientists hoping to clean up our oceans and combat climate change. Nuclear-powered vessels have a military association, with the USA, Russia, UK, India, France, and China all having extensive nuclear-powered fleets.
The Ulstien Thor, a 149-meter all-electric superyacht, houses a thorium-fuelled molten salt reactor at its core to provide power. The Earth 300 concept is powered by Molten Salt Reactors and is completely free of harmful emissions. Iddes Yachts claims that the preliminary vessel design of Earth 300 is ready approved and the preliminary naval engineering is completed.
