Abstract

An underwater nuclear power unit includes: an access tunnel; a plurality of submersible modules; a crushable gasket; and a fluid barrier. The crushable gasket and the fluid barrier establish a water-tight seal between modules. A nuclear power unit includes: a containment vessel; a support structure; a plurality of pilings; a spent fuel storage; and a fuel handler for moving spent fuel to the spent fuel storage. A defense system for an offshore nuclear power unit includes a containment vessel; a first defense with a first radius of approximately eight nautical miles; a second defense area with a second radius of approximately six nautical miles; a third defense area with a third radius of approximately one nautical mile; and a fourth defense area with a fourth radius of less than one nautical mile. Active defenses are deployable in the air, on the water, and below the water within the defense areas.
