According to the top U.S. military command in the Pacific and representatives of the State Department, such a scenario, they warn, could undermine regional security and stability.
According to U.S. officials, after more than a decade of research and development and safety concerns from Chinese regulators, China is likely to go ahead with the plans, while the international community has not yet established standards for the safe operation of floating reactors.
