This is a much cheaper and faster way to get nuclear power.
They should be forced to make their own clean power plants. No clean coal, no natural gas. Only renewable since it is a guarantee that they will leave 100% of the cost of the nuclear disposal to the taxpayers.
You underestimate the fact that all of these tech CEOs are in a death cult.
they will leave 100% of the cost of the nuclear disposal to the taxpayers.
As opposed to the military handling disposal of the reactor materials… which is paid by… the taxpayers.
You didn’t think this comment through every much, or at all really, did you?
I trust the military doing it to spec a million times more than any company executives. It’ll probably be left to pollute the area they hide it for decades before taxpayers have to pay for it.
The DOE doing it is already financially accounted for and there is a professional staff that are trained on how to do it
Ah yes, let’s give rich people weapons grade uranium (what these compact reactors run on)
Weapons grade uranium is so expensive and energy intensive to make that I can’t imagine they would ever pay for it and the fuel is at end of life so would need refueling soon.
The navy likely puts a safety margin on the fuel so there is probably some life left in the fuel but I would be very surprised if it lasted more than a year or two which is where I am confused on how this would work
And who will pay for the disposal and storage of the waste produced?
Us of course. With the small ‘s’.
Fallout is actually gonna happen before we get HL3
Definitely before we get fallout 5.
Oh good. I was hoping we’d find a way for AI to consume more water.
It’s a Christmas miracle!
And all the brave men and women of the various branches of the armed forces can just dance and juggle for the mighty king! Yey!

So I got a job at this company back in the day that did phone and email customer service for other companies.
I was one of the last people they ever hired. Me and 7 other people were shown to our cubicles that had brand new Dell sff computers and peripherals in their boxes.
We were told the IT guys were off or on sick leave and I offered to try and set the machines up at least to save time. With the help of the others we plugged everything in and then kinda sat there all day doing nothing.
Next day we all show up for work and we see people carrying boxes out of the building. Turns out the owner was neck deep in debt and just dissappeared, people were told they shouldn’t be expecting any more paychecks or bother suing.
Basically the manager told everyone to just sort of take whatever they want home and everyone just took their work PC home. Me and 7 other people basically got a free PC for half a day’s work, others got shafted though…
All I’m trying to say here is maybe DON’T SELL NUCLEAR AIRCRAFT CARRIER REACTORS to private companies that are 100% going to go tits up soon when yet another tech bubble bursts and those reactors end up being sold on AliExpress?

No problem, got my eyes on a Trident missile.
