Oceans are the safest place for nuclear power

Since 2011's Fukushima disaster, there has been a concerted effort to rethink the long run of atomic power to create it safer. One in every of the foremost radical suggestions thus far has been proposed by a gaggle of science and engineering professors, together with atomic power and offshore construction specialists: to make power plants puzzled. Taking inspiration from oil and gas drilling rigs, they argue that floating facilities faraway from land are the safest place for nuclear reactors. Not only are they surrounded by a ready source of cold water to instantly quiet down a meltdown situation, but they'd even be unaffected by tsunamis and earthquakes.
