Maritime activities pose significant safety risks, particularly with the growing presence of nuclear-powered vessels (NPVs) alongside traditional fossil-powered (FPVs). This study employs a probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) approach to evaluate and compare accident hazards involving NPVs FPVs. By analyzing historical data from 1960 2024, this identifies patterns, frequency (probability), severity levels. The methodology focuses on incidents such as marine incidents, casualties, very serious cases sub-causes. Key findings reveal that Russia exhibits highest for both FPVs, 100% NPVs. China has FPV risk, while France USA show above-average casualties incidents. Moreover, collision is most global 26% 34% followed by fire hazards, which also major concern, 17% 16% highlighting need enhanced fire-prevention measures. In conclusion, comparative analysis highlights stability improvements, prevention, maintenance practices, in UK, France, Russia, China. underscores importance targeted measures mitigate improve ship design, promote safer maritime operations nuclear- fossil-fueled vessels.
