Navy nuclear power plants are built with money as no object, they run highly enriched fuel, are very small, modulate output, the reactor waste is highly valuable gets recyceled as soon as its safe to move and most importantly of all they appear to be immune or get a free pass from political stupidity and nimbys. Which is exactly opposite of commercial nuclear power plants on all accounts.
