Sure, it's non-trivial. So are self driving cars and building rockets. Still worth doing, though.

Piracy would be the easiest thing to defeat, I would think. It's not like the pirates are going to cut it open with a sawzall to get at the fuel. They are after ransom for the crew and cargo, not in the market of obtaining nuclear by-products.



As I note above, the reactor (and its fuel and decay products) themselves become something to ransom. Or sell.

Self-driving cars don't have 10,000 year consequences (though some rockets do).
