Good story. I'm amazed how engineers can build nuclear reactors for naval vessels, yet we're so behind in national power resources on land. Western Europe has more nuclear power plants, than us.

Hopefully we can change that should we decide to focus our attention on important matters.

We could put copies of those same Naval reactors on barges in protected bays and other sheltered areas, run power lines to the shore, and have plenty of power (while sticking a finger in the eye of the Oil Sheiks and the terrorists they support). Most of our power load is near the ocean or great lakes so that would work out pretty well, but it would be too sensible, so it's unlikely to happen.
