>From what I remeber from  a talk at Bell Labs some years ago...
Over it's lifetime, the cost of a nuclear aircraft carrier is a few
percentage points greater that of a conventional one. The advantage,
I think, is less down-time for refueling. There where other advangates
but I don't remember them. I suppose a nuke power plant a fuel load
is considerably smaller and lighter, in the end, than a conventinal one.
