Why is nuclear-powered the standard for submarines, when not for ferry, small ships and vessels ?
In: Engineering
US and Russia tried nuclear powered large ships like a cargo ship.
The ships worked fine, but they realized an issue early on that would make them not possible.
No country wanted a nuclear powered ship in their ports or off their coast.
The military gets away with it because “fuck you”, but merchant shipping doesn’t due to fear of nuclear accidents.
