Twenty feet by six feet? Can't see getting that into my forty-footer.


No, but half again to 10 feet by 3 feet is barely bigger than the
average engine in a sport fishing boat.


I'm guessing that weight is a far more serious obstacle than
dimensions. A compact reactor will be mostly lead containment.



Well, there certainly aren't any "issues" in connection with the safe
operation of a nuclear reactor. Yeah...that's the ticket. And hydrogen?
Just the ticket for small boats beaten up in rough oceans...call your
boat, oh, how about Hindenburg II?
