Exactly. Thanks! There other advantage is that if there's an accident that can't be fixed the solution of towing it out to sea and sinking it into a deep trench is far more preferable than having it contaminate the surrounding land area like Chernobyl.

No additional cancer has been found among nearby villages, the number of cigarettes consumed there is a far greater danger. Moreover a Chernobyl like accident couldn’t happen again. Outside of the USSR no one was building graphite pile reactors after maybe 1955, and no reactors without containment buildings.
