I'm sure they're easier to "type approve" in some countries like
China and Russia. Who is kicking them out once a week in those
markets?

Do naval nuclear reactors cost less than Boeing's military
aircraft?

I never have much luck finding real numbers since it seems nobody
likes to talk about it publicly, although using nuclear power for
a naval ship has been estimated for the US congress in 2008 to add
$600-800 million to the cost of building it:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4f/RL33946_%28IA_RL33946-crs%29.pdf

The Russians have presumably "type approved" one of their
icebreaker reactors for SMR use since they've had two working as a
power station on a barge since 2019:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KLT-40

I'm not sure if any western company has even got that far, yet the
Russians still haven't followed that up with another one even
though they're apparantly busy building eight reactors to an
improved design:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RITM-200

Unless one of these SMR companies can explain the breakthrough
they've made which changes the rules for how quickly and cheaply
one of these reactors can be built, I'm highly skeptical. Where
I've looked they all seem to explain exceptionally little of the
manufacturing details, so I suspect it's all bluff. But I'd like
to be surprised.
