“A floating nuclear power plant can release a steady stream of toxic, radioactive waste directly into the ocean.”

The United States Navy has had floating nuclear plants for decades.

“The United States Navy has had floating nuclear plants for decades”

I was thinking the same thing. Hasn’t at least one nuclear sub sunk?

Vaguely related: I read the other day that nuclear subs have a disadvantage in that they can’t be made real quiet because the pumps for the reactor must be kept running and their noise can be picked up by sonar.

Also have read that we’re making non-nuclear subs again that are really quiet.
