    Jets and ships can be nuclear powered. It’s just not a very good idea for jets at least.

      Sure, but doesn’t that just increase the nuclear waste storage issue if we turn all these vehicles nuclear powered

        Not hugely. Actual nuclear waste, not just mildly radioactive uniforms and similar material, is extremely small and compact for the amount of energy generated.

          I would say though how much nuclear waste would be acceptable in an aquifer to be an issue. Its great that in relation to the energy produced, its small. But can that small amount still pose a catastrophic risk or not
