Maybe for a capacitor bank? Even if the carrier uses flywheels for EMALS, a hybrid solution could be possible.

What radiation shielding? Are you a nuclear engineer? Did you receive a degree in nuclear engineering? Are you being trained as a nuclear engineer? Are you an applied physicist? Are you a Chinese military insider, a member of the central military commission or a member of a subordinate organization? Do you work for the Jiangnan shipyard, or are you a member of the party or parties that supply reactor components to the Jiangnan shipyard? How can you tell those are radiation shields for the carrier? Or did you hear it from a random internet poster who heard it from his uncle's neighbor who heard it from her dentist who in turn read it on the internet that those are radiation shielding?

only those people are qualified to comment ? I left tons of analysis why it is nuclear powered in this thread before.
hey I'm wondering if I add a question mark after that you will be ok? you dont need to be this serious. leave some space for fun ok?

No, but I and others would be far more open to opinions and statements from "those people" precisely because they are qualified to speak on the matter. If you don't have any of the aforementioned qualifications, among others, then you'd better have a damn good reason as to why you think those are radiation shielding and be prepared to explain in detail. An no, you have not left "tons of analysis" on why this is a nuclear carrier. Circling parts of images and labeling the said parts as "nuclear reactors" or "radiation shielding" isn't analysis, at least not in this reality.

Clearly its not radiation shielding, but part of the anti-gravity drive.

Seriously, its a bunch of blocks. How could anyone assess what it's for or where on the hull, if at all, it is supposed to go.

IMO, the two white blocks at the front of the rest of the blocks, are superstructure modules. Whose superstructure? The LNG carrier being built next to the carrier. The boxes are left in a way that the cranes can lift and place them in that ship.

Before the LNG carrier to the right was laid there, that area had been storing superstructure modules for various commercial ships under construction. Now the area is filled up by a ship, the storage area has to move to somewhere convenient. As for the rest of the blocks, they are unpainted and in primer grey. IMO, they are building superstructures in that shed.

Even for the lead designer of the ship would be hard to identify the bits of the ship from this picture without help.

Any other "professional" will most likely fail to identify the purpose of blocks, it is not intuitive , they are designed based on easy manufacturing sequence, not for untrained manual assembly or identification.
