The Maritime Administration (MARAD) is seeking public comments on the future use or disposition of the historic vessel, the Nuclear Ship NS Savannah, after its nuclear reactor is fully decommissioned. The agency is considering either maintaining the vessel intact, potentially as a museum, or dismantling it. MARAD is interested in hearing from the public about possible new uses for the ship, potential operators, or alternative suggestions. Comments can be submitted through various methods, including the Federal eRulemaking Portal, and are open until March 15, 2021.
Simple Explanation
The Maritime Administration wants ideas from people on what to do with an old, important ship called the NS Savannah that used to have a nuclear engine. They are thinking about keeping it as a museum or taking it apart, and they want to hear what other people think they should do.
