If they are making this information public, you can be sure the technology has already been developed and is being used as well as tested. While intentions are good, I can see this technology becoming a HUGE safety concern. Imagine a nuclear reactor being within a few miles of almost every domicile. It wouldn't take much to make each one a ticking time bomb that would have devastating consequences for anyone nearby. Please, Lord Jesus Christ, save us from ourselves and our ignorance.
Aren't the ones on submarines the size of a refrigerator? Visually it'd be trivial to conceal a reactor. But it would set off all kinds of alarms (geiger counter, etc.)
Not sure, as I have never been on a nuclear sub. It would be logical to assume that it would be no larger than a car if they can fit it in a sub.
Miniature nuclear reactors are pretty small. It would be a little impractical to power a car with one, but larger vehicles
