Deployable Energy and Hornbeck Offshore have entered a partnership to develop maritime nuclear power applications using the Unity Nuclear Battery. This microreactor technology is designed for integration into various maritime sectors, such as offshore platforms, autonomous vessels, and power barges, with the goal of providing refueling intervals exceeding five years.

The project is moving into testing phases, including a full-power demonstration at the Idaho National Laboratory to evaluate controls, safety, and operational procedures for U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission licensing. Following laboratory testing, the technology will undergo maritime trials with Hornbeck Offshore to assess performance under real-world sea conditions, specifically regarding space, weight, and environmental integration.
