Would be cool.. but unfortunately the shielding effects of lead, polycarbonate and water are the same of a big reactor or a small one. The army tried a small reactor for deployment to remote locations with disastrous effects. My favorite nuclear power plant of all times however is used on the now stricken NR-1.. A truly amazing piece of engineering all built without direct congressional funding or approval! A reactor this size would fit nicely on a 60-100 foot trawler... No need for silly sails anymore. Not to mention when at the dock it could reverse feed into the grid and power a small city
I've been waiting for it to show up on the government auctions sites but to no avail...
