Since most likely, the reactor would be loaded once, and then welded shut, with a 0% chance of "exploding". If something should go seriously wrong, the ship would sink to the bottom of the ocean, and all would be well. That is why from a safety point of view, nucelar powered ships are great! And that is why flying nuclear powered things, are less great. >> NOBODY in their right mind would   EVER insure that !
