Miniature nuclear reactors could be the answer to sustainable datacenter growth

Well

I asked a friend of mine (who has a PhD in the physics and in his early career trained the US navy people on operating the submarine reactors) and one thing that they mentioned was that the US Navy reactors ran on far more highly enriched fuel. To the point of being considered weapons-grade. Regular (large) civilian reactors don't need this level of enrichment.

Anyway, the question in my mind is whether governments would be OK with delivering highly enriched uranium to loads of commercial premises around the world.
