> McMurdo base in Antarctica was powered by a nuclear reactor for 10 years which ended in the 70s. Yes, but I'm not sure that was an overwhelmingly positive example supporting increased use of widespread reactors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McMurdo_Station#Nuclear_power_1962.E2.80.931972 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McMurdo_Station#Nuclear_power_... As a result of continuing safety issues (hairline cracks in the reactor and water leaks), the U.S. Navy Nuclear Power Program decommissioned the plant in 1972. Or course, one would hope that more modern design would be safer.
