    I’m not an expert, but I don’t think nuclear reactors have much in common with nuclear bombs. Reactors are also “explode” only when are overhead, which shouldn’t be a concern in sea. Also it’ll operate far from where people live.

    But very interesting concept indeed.

        But I guess you aren’t worried about the irreparable harm that ocean acidification is already causing?

            “I have something that will Solve Y.”
            “Yes but have you considered theoretical scenario X that isn’t really related to your solution to Y?”
