    The U.S. uses nuclear energy for war and has had nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers for over 50 years. We could have had nuclear container ships by now.

      Those things are large enough they could probably fit plants to produce hydrogen and oxygen out of the sea water. Probably wishful thinking on that one though.

      Why don't we have land plants that do that? Or at least invest in refining that kind of tech?

        Nuclears best use is small scale. So the fallout is minimal.

        Nuclear should be on ships and used to give power small towns north of the arctic circle or mountain towns. You could have a locked down reactor the size of a shipping container.

        If it’s waste and fallout you are worried about, the logistics of large scale plants would probably be more likely to cause long term issues

          There is never anything like fallout from a reactor unless something catastrophic happens like Chernobyl, and modern pressurized water reactors are basically incapable of having a disaster on that scale unless you set off a bomb inside them.
