What's the Problem With Pressurized Light Water Reactors?
Naval reactors run on high-rich uranium. So now you're going to use low-enrich uranium in these reactors, which is perfectly feasible. But then you've got a refueling cycle, which is every 18 to 24 months. And what's wrong with that? By extension, thisYou'd have vessels having to be refueled,. either at a lot of refueling stations around the world, but infrastructure would have them built out for or you'd have to do imports. Now you've got non-proforation, and you've got security issues and all the sort of things with refueling a reactor in a commercial port. All of these pressurized reactor systems require an
