To be clear, the exact designs on military craft are secret for security reasons, but not the theory and general technology. Commercial nuclear boats have long existed, they’re just niche for all the cost, safety and complexity reasons you’d expect.

I’ve heard it suggested that the mass production efficiencies wouldn’t kick in until they’re building hundreds or thousands. That’s pretty typical for manufacturing, and it’s not like we’ve never built a reactor before.

Well, you can feel that way I guess, but good luck getting anybody to care.

Which is also why they might be snake oil. Similar problems to a full-size modern reactor, but without the savings of scale and not having to ship modules around.

Cool, we’ll finally get to find out if it’s actually even more complicated and expensive than the traditional kind.

Okay, so you are serious.

Dude, it’s a meme quote. OP is statistically very likely an atheist, since this is Lemmy.

I’m on here enough they all blur together. Maybe that makes me the idiot.

Can’t tell if serious.

Suure, you’ve “just read” things.

That would be a real argument, if the immigrants weren’t poor themselves and if they actually were bad for the economy as opposed to good.

The fact that you jumped in here like that in response to a barely-related comment about democracy makes me think racist.

No existing democracy is absolute, and there’s a pretty strong argument it has to be that way.
