nuke boats
a while ago i was floating the idea of putting nuclear power plants on barges. crazy idea i know. think about it though. aircraft carriers and submarines use them. folks have made nuclear powered cruise ships before. one could imagine using them at the sites of natural disasters. earthquake hits burma. the uss glowy pulls up, plugs in, and voila! you have emergency power. disposal is easy. just fill the thing with concrete and scuttle it in the deep ocean. yeah i know folks are gonna hate that idea. but it's a hell of a lot better than storing a billion curies in a pool of water. in a three story building. sheehs. that's just tempting the gods to smite you. anywho. it's not such a crazy idea anymore. with five minutes of warning, operators at fukushima could have undocked and headed out to sea. would have saved hundreds of lives. and whole lot of money.
