    We already have floating nuclear power plants and we’ve never had an issue with one (in the US at least). Look at any modern aircraft carrier or naval submarine. Many of them are able to be connected to shore and power nearby buildings in emergencies.

      The article on Nimitz class carriers is a great Wikipedia rabbit hole to dive into.

      Floating nuclear power plants would be safer in disasters than ones on land if anything. We literally use water to block the radiation since it’s so effective at it.
