While nuclear container ships would be very useful for reducing emissions I'm not sure I want to trust shipping companies with nuclear reactors given the track record of ship accidents and noncompliance with environmental regulations. Feels like they'd just dump the nuclear waste into the ocean.
Also piracy would suddenly become a much bigger issue.
