    The same argument could be used about oil based cargo ships. Honestly it’s argueable that oil fuel spilling into n ecosystem might be worst for the environment and public health.

      Oil fueled ships ARE worse and less safe. The amount of fail-safes on nuclear powered generation now is crazy. An oil fueled ship is just a big tank waiting to be ruptured.

      Not to mention, there are tons of nuclear powered ships and submarines. They make is sound like this isn’t a thing that’s been out there for decades. They have. The only difference is they haven’t been thorium reactors.
