Called Atomic Technologies Licensed for Applications at Sea, or ATLAS, the project is meant to jumpstart a more deliberate and serious transition away from fossil fuels and towards radioactive energy in maritime settings. This basically breaks down into two categories: nuclear-powered civilian ships and floating nuclear power plants (FNPPs). There has been a little bit of activity in these areas over the last few decades, but it hasn't been deployed at scale. Now, the main regulatory body for nuclear power around the world is putting its back into the effort.

Seems like a bad way to live to me.

When Crusader Kings 3: By God Alone comes out, I'm going to turn the Roman Catholic Church into a polyamorous love nest

Three's company

Being a pope is a stressful job. That's true today, but imagine heading up the Roman Catholic Church in the 11th century.
