Why can’t every house have such a reactor?

Every house that would have such a reactor would have the same problems as the American McMurdo station in Antarctica got it with its reactor:

On March 3, 1962, the U.S. Navy activated the PM-3A nuclear power plant at the station. […] As a result of continuing safety issues (hairline cracks in the reactor and water leaks), the U.S. Army Nuclear Power Program decommissioned the plant in 1972.

Do crew members die regularly?

Among the people who worked at the McMurdo station, there are a number of cancers. Acknowledged by the Veteran Authority was the connection with the stay at one of the deceased. His widow says that she knows about 67 military personnel who worked on McMurdo and who were sick of cancer.

Why can military submarines take their energy from nuclear reactors?

Because the respective government has made the money for the purchase and operation of submarines with nuclear reactor loose.

The Rechnik is the same as any nuclear power plant on land; it is not primarily driven by a current generator, but the propeller shaft.

Where does the garbage land?

In the same camps as the waste of nuclear power plants. Say: You don’t even know where it is in the long term.

Why can’t every house have such a reactor?

  1. Because such reactors are incredibly expensive in procurement and operation. A marine diesel engine, which daily has its 100 tonnes(!) fuel consumed Fucking against.
  2. Because even the smallest reactors provide much more power than a single building could ever need. Why would you spend an incredible amount of money on something you will never need anyway?
  3. Because then every homeowner could cause a reactor accident that makes half the county uninhabitable.

Do crew members die regularly?

No.

Atom reactors are also so large and heavy because they have a corresponding radiation shield.

In addition, nuclear reactors are operated by specialists who know about their job. This is not a gas thermo in the basement, where only every few years the heating farmer looks past.

The garbage lands after the trip where the other garbage also lands, that is actually not so much. Not every house needs such a reactor, unlike a submarine, houses are connected to the grid. No, crew members don’t die regularly, the danger should be about as big as for people working in a nuclear power plant.
