"nuclear power has more energy per unit weight/volume than gasoline.
I'm pretty certain of that." Heh. Granted, but the gas tank in my CIVIC
weighs about 20 pounds empty, and the motor/drive train, maybe a couple
hundred pounds altogether. Not sure what a nuke plant weighs, but you
can't put it in a CIVIC or an airplane for that matter. At least not
yet. 

What about CAREM plants by the way? The ones CNEA and INVAP are working
on? Small modular reactors would seem ideal for a Navy installation. The
very first reactor was in the basement of a school, if memory serves me
correct....
