Comment on BWXT and Crowley Developing Nuclear Power Generation Shipsparent

Comments

Tsunamis shouldn't be an issue for ships, but if the floating power plant is in a busy port you do have a risk of a Halifax, Texas City or Beirut scenario. Lots of fertilizer and sometimes explosives move through ports and a powerful blast could severely damage or even sink the power plant. It doesn't happen terribly often, but it does happen sometimes.
