RE: submarines and Norm
Another point is that the Navy does not have the same cost-benefit problems
that the civilian power plants have. We could expend more money and
manpower of monitoring, since we did not have to show a profit. We could
have more stringent requirements than those of the civilian world, and would
have the resources to meet them.

Bill, I disagree. I believe the military use of safe, clean nuclear
energy is considered acceptable solely on its own merits. There is
little discussion about the technology and its use, there isn't a lot
of press or documentaries on it, their problems aren't made public
and, they aren't operating in a person's literal backyard.
