Comment by fmajid 5 months ago And the technology is incredibly mature, submarine reactors were some of the first reactors, period. 9 comments fmajid Reply croes 5 months ago And they are heavily guarded.In the current political climate I prefer energy sources that don’t cause severe damage if sabotaged.Did you hear the worries in Ukraine that Russia could hit a wind turbine with a rocket? rafaelmn 5 months ago What's the danger in hitting a micro nuclear reactor with a rocket ? A shitty dirty bomb detonated near the powerplant ? oneshtein 5 months ago Nuclear meltdown, evacuation of nearby cities. 1 reply → quotemstr 5 months ago Submarine reactors run on super high enriched fuel instantly one could instantly repurpose into a bomb. Lots of gen 4 and 5 reactor designs that combine low cost, compact footprint, and running on less expensive and carefully controlled fuel. nicce 5 months ago French have some LEU submarines. They seem to be pretty good on paper. Needs refueling every ten years.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffren-class_submarine pyrale 5 months ago France also built full-sized commercial plants rather than batteries of small reactors. That's because scale matters for efficient production. 1 reply → quotemstr 5 months ago Cool! Thanks
