Why Ports Do Not Want a Nuclear Ship
A normal cargo ship can divert to the nearest capable port for tugboats, firefighting, salvage, and temporary repairs. A nuclear-powered vessel must find a port that is willing and prepared to receive it, even when no radiation has been released.
Repairs and salvage require specialist teams, monitoring, controlled procedures, and longer delays. At the end of its life, the ship must be decommissioned through a tightly regulated process rather than sold or scrapped normally.
