Building a startup for on-demand nuclear plant submarines for coastal cities worldwide.

Coastal mayors and governors have access dashboard to order nuclear submarines and pay by the hour. Submarine plant comes within a week, plugs itself to the local grid from the shore and electricity flows in. You may want to reserve an instance for a year or the submarine may move to a higher bidder municipality. Emergency cooling handled by construction even in worst case scenarios, no pumping necessary.

Regulations are fine because the submarine plants are not built in your country. Nuclear waste moves out of the country with the submarine when submarine is done powering your local grid. A real-time marketplace lets cities and countries worldwide bid to host the waste for good money.

Cute idea, but nuclear submarines aren't that powerful. Output for ballistic submarine reactors are in the 150-250MW range.

For reference, natural gas power plants can hit the GW range easily. Even those diesel backup generators you see outside of hospitals and such are about 1kW. You could throw a bunch of those on a tanker ship and probably provide more power output than a nuclear sub reactor.

This is misleading. Gas turbines used for power plants usually put out 100-250mw. Most gas plants just stack 3-5 of them together in a common location - same thing could be done for small reactors.
