   'Private' nuke vessels are NOT practical. Not only
   does it require a team of HIGHLY-trained techs to
   keep 'em running right but the LIABILITY if they
   somehow fail ..... NOBODY in their right mind would
   EVER insure that ! What DOES it cost if San Diego
   is covered in radioactive mist ???

   GOVERNMENTS can push all that aside, but NOT private
   entities.
