Wouldn't mining extraction be largely electrified 50 years in the future? Secondly, as the cost of nuclear fuel makes up little of the ongoing cost, shifts in the price of Uranium and Thorium to increase reserve from available stock will have minimal impact on end using pricing, wouldn't that be economically correct as well?

Comment Civilian Nuclear Shipping (Score 3, Informative) 143

NS Savannah was the first nuclear-powered merchant ship. She was built in the late 1950s at a cost of $46.9 million (including a $28.3 million nuclear reactor and fuel core) and launched on July 21, 1959. She was funded by United States government agencies. Savannah was a demonstration project for the potential use of nuclear energy. The ship was named after SS Savannah, the first steamship to cross the Atlantic ocean. She was in service between 1962 and 1972 as one of only four nuclear-powered cargo ships ever built. (Soviet ice-breaker Lenin launched on December 5, 1957, was the first nuclear-powered civil ship.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
