So pirates will be able to steal nuclear material? What happens if a container sinks near a popular beach? I doubt people want these kinds of risks.

I’d expect gas and diesel to be used for airplanes and ships for a long long time.

Why couldn't private security be part of international freight? The costs for this security could be added to freight costs.

For example, Russian private security contractors successfully protected ships near Somalia - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XJ0nblZjZE

Governmental navies don't experience these risks? Also, read this section about liabilities for private nuclear reactors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_marine_propulsion#Civi...

Private security is not a guarantee and someone could always send a suicide bomber. It happened a few times to US navy ships it would probably be easier to do to commercial ships.

The number of nuclear navies numbers in the single digits, and of those, only a handful use nuclear powered ships in any sort of numbers.

Nuclear material is self-guarding.
