An item reported that the Italian Fai concern, the Ansaldo shipyards and the commission for nuclear energy asked the European organisation Euratom (European Atomic Energy Community) for technical and fiscal support during two years for building a 52.000 tons nuclear propelled tanker. Originally was the intention to use a pressurized water type but now was also a boiling water reactor an alternative. The maximum horsepower was to be 23.100hp and the ship would be able to steam non-stop about 7.500 miles.
