Generally, building things on land has substantially other constraints than on a ship. You have substantially more space and weight is much less of a concern. Usually, power plants on land are built much larger than on sea, leveraging different scale economies.
- jabl 7y agoTrue, though the promise of all these SMR's under development currently is to leverage series manufacturing and get cost savings that way, rather than scaling everything up ever bigger as traditional nuclear plants. If it turns out SMR's meet their promises, I guess the same economic principles could be applicable for ships as well.
