@frezik there is an economic case for three nuclear reactor applications.
Medical isotopes need to come from somewhere, and so far as I’m aware, you can’t do all of them with particle accelerators.
Marine power; your 250,000 DWT bulk transport or large container ship pollute significantly, can’t go solar, and marine nuclear is not obviously a bad technical option. (They can maybe go with some sort of fuel cell, but that’s not developed tech.)

High-latitude baseline power.
