I often though, how much faster smaller reactors, with less massive piping and welds, could better serve towns and cities, using the size reactors and piping systems onboard nuclear U.S. Naval ships. They could be built, tested, certified, and producing electric power, in one fourth the construction time, of that for a Regional Power Station (s), which are now being built in the U.S., or in planning now. These town sized, Power Station Sites, would require smaller work forces of each trade, could hire local workers, trained to NRC/ANSI and all applicable codes, under the direction of current Prime Contractors, i.e. Bectel, Westinghouse, Brown & Sharp, etc.
Local Colleges, could offer required courses, for all trades to meet required standards for any local workers, plus OJT. These same local workers, could also become the Operational work force, of the new Town Power Station, and PUD. Town Power Sites, based on the Palo Verde design, one or more Scaled down Units in a semi-circle, with a Central Control Building, allowing for future expansion, or systematic shut-down and maintenance while still producing electric power, steam, and spent fuel robotic-containerization*. The same Sites, could also intergrate Trash and Garbage Reclaimation and (current designs) of Plasma Incineration, of wastes.

Power Sites located on waterways or coastlines, could have fuel material, and spent fuel containers, delivered and removed, by Naval (LSD) Landing Ship Dock design, scaled down craft, where they could enter a Power Station by waterway locks, fuel rods would be in cooling water through out transport. And have Navy or Coast Guard escort at sea.

*Robotic-Containerization; Would take spent fuel, mix it with a lead/concrete slurry, injected into leaded glass containers under water, heat sealed, inserted into foam lined stainless steel cyclinders and automatic seam welded and placed in water cooled shipping pallets also under water. The stern bay door of the LSD craft, its well deck being submerged would load the shipping pallets. The containerized pallets, would be off loaded at an off-shore NRC-NASA, launch platform, SS cyclinders would be loaded into a rocket final stage payload bay, drained of water lifted upright, purged with LOX or directional rocket fuel, (used after booster rocket seperation) and fitted behind an expendable unmanned navigation and guidance nose cone assembly. Directed to impact or approch at the farsides of Venus or the Sun.
