Good one. Shipping container ships are big users of liquid fossil fuels. Going nuclear, like on a nuclear-powered navy ship, would allow them to move about without fuel for years. It seems like it could lower the shipping cost for all sorts of things.
I have another one for you: computer data centers and the internet. I read how the internet consumes 2% of the world's energy. That's just a tick below shipping. Installing a small, fast nuclear reactor is the best and most reliable source.
Thanks! And I love your suggestion. I think this is a massive possibility for SMR and microreactors, as their flexibility makes them ideal for the data centres and the other infrastructure which power the internet. I will have a look into it!
