Bluecore Advances Floating Nuclear Power Project at Port of Long Beach

Bluecore Energy is moving its floating nuclear power concept deeper into the development and regulatory phase, securing its first barge and beginning formal engagement with federal regulators as it works toward a commercial maritime nuclear system.
