Probability of the ship sinking: quite low.
Damages caused (by the nuclear waste) if the ship sinks: quite low.
Multiply the two number, then it's very low.
(a ship sinking is usually an environment desaster, but the nuclear waste sinking should be a very small concern because the waste are fixed in glass, and water absorb radiation)

Scaling nuclear power up by factor of 10 to 100 means scaling transport of nuclear waste up by the same factor at least. Including all the risks associated with it. People are not going to take these vague assurances after so much has gone wrong in the past.
