KLT-40S reactor is the same type of PWR used on Taymyr-class icebreakers. So it makes little difference if an icebreaker or a floating nuclear power plant passes through international waters. Also, small naval PWRs like this one are safer than a full scale nuclear powerplant, of which many are scaled up naval power plants. https://www.economist.com/news/science-and-technology/21726058-floating-reactors-are-their-way-submarine-ones-may-follow-atomic-power https://www.economist.com/news/science-and-technology/217260... https://www.economist.com/node/17647651 https://www.economist.com/node/17647651 http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2008/jun/09/john-mccain/navys-record-unblemished/ http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2008/jun/...
