European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - April 8, 1963, Darmstadt, Hesse                              To nuclear powered cargo ship will be Able to Cron the Atlantic in Jess than six Days carrying 60 pan in Gen and 9,250 Lont of Carijo. Any lean about the namesake and atom c dangers Are equally unwarranted say nuclear project officers. According to them a passenger could sit for a year in a ship s cargo hold directly in front onto pressurized water reactor and get no nor radiation than from the Luminous list of his own wrist  measure they say has been spared � shielding reactor containment ship str actual integrity Safe storage of All net and the continuous monitoring of very potentially hazardous condition. It by Evn Ben called the world s Sal my  it was pointed out that the 275-1 on steel containment vessel of the reactor would prevent radioactive matter from reach ing other part of the ship even if there were an instantaneous rupture of the re actor and chances were rated As a billion to one against the ship Ever having an Accident capable of Emu Long major damage tothe reactor. Even then according to scientists a nuclear explosion would be impossible. To enlighten the Public to the fact that nuclear powered ships Are entirely dependable and Safe i listed As one of the Savannah s five important missions a a floating  the others Are to stimulate Early solutions to such problem As  liability and indemnification and win for nuclear ships acceptance in that world s ports. To demonstrate to the world the employment of nuclear Power As an instrument of peace for the Benefit of Mankind. To bring the Power of the atom into the Market places of the world in peaceful Trade and Commerce. To give the maritime administration and the atomic Energy commission the Opportunity for prudently assessing the possible contribution of atomic Power to the Progress of the american merchant Marine in providing shipping services on routes essential for maintaining the flow of the foreign Commerce of the \3s. The Cost of building a nuclear ship is expected to compare favourably with that Ofa conventional ship in the 165-70 period thanks to Forward strides made with the Savannah a name that now if double sure of maritime immortality. Twenty one Boron rods which control Phlp i reactor arc and filed Here. Which in turn operates a Turbine to drive the ship. A 1963 first Savannah using sails and steam took 29 Days to reach Liverpool.
