Great! There’s plenty of precedent for floating nuclear reactors. Just look at any modern aircraft carrier or navy submarine. The US Navy operates hundreds of nuclear reactors at sea with a perfect safety record.
If it has a meltdown and you sink it it would be pretty safe as long as you’re not right in the coast right? Water blocks radiation and forces from an explosion pretty well
There’s gotta be a way for the navy to commercialize reactor ships and use them for freight. Even if it means a crew of navy engineers on each freighter. I’d take the remote possibility of a nuclear incident in the middle of the Pacific, or even a dirty-bomb or two. Either one is going to cause less destruction than bunker fuel.

Absolutely! Nuclear energy is one of the cleanest options, and it’s a superior option for a floating power station.
