Well i thought here at subsim i could be a little polemic
I know that radiation falls away quickly, and this was no "incident". However what do they do after the boat's or other's life cycle(s) ? Clean the steel plates with soap ? The reactor housing, or the fuel rods, make small pellets and seal them in glass masses to bury ? If they do that at all, and just don't sink the waste in a fishery area.
I just said that nuclear propulsion is not a "clean" technology if taking energy balance, including building and disposing, into account.
A breaking-up super tanker or disposing marine fuel residues into the sea has a more direct effect, i agree.
