Alameda's the right place for carriers to moor. Subs used to dock
at Concord.
They already have a nuke in Berkeley, at the school of engineering.
One of the reasons America's commericial nukes get a deservedly bad
rap is that every one of them is a one-off design. So it's hard to
share knowledge and fixes (and consequently why the industry is
close knit.)
If we had gone with a tightly standardized program like Rickover's or
Electricity de France, I think they'd have less problems gaining acceptance.
I don't know transmission well, so not sure if tying the shipboard generators
output into the grid hits the same constraint as importing power.
