That is an entirely different question than IF someone would want floating reactors provided they are safe.

Yes, and I'm saying the commenter is simply ignoring the problems. They aren't just social. A nuclear reactor is something that must be controlled and secured, period. That's not because of social pressure, that's because of the reality of the technology. It's insanity to think otherwise.


The point I was trying to make, is that the social problem is problem enough, even if they magically could be made safe.


Ah, fair enough.
