“But the kinds of marine reactors the Russians are promoting also create a by-product - used fuel - that no one knows how to handle. Right now, that spent fuel is being stored at naval yards in the Russian Arctic. No engineering solution has yet been devised to decontaminate the fuel. “
BS, we already know what to do with but the Democrats won’t let us. Carter’s ‘no reprocessing’ EO which became a congress-passed law is why we have so much nuclear waste.
Nuclear fuel can be reprocessed and reused over and over until about only 1% of the original mass is left.

I don’t know who makes those reactors, but they should have been promoting the safe power on subs and aircraft carriers years ago. I’ve been suggesting it since 2002.

Carter was a Navy reactor officer and so familiar with the technology & physics behind fission reactors — intimate with it. Why do you suppose he chose to scr3w the entire industry like that?
